Mitrephora tomentosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Bangladesh, Cambodia, southern China, northeastern India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Joseph Hooker and Thomas Thomson, the British botanists who first formally described the species, named it after the dense covering of hair (tomentosus in Latin) on its young branches, leaves and flowers.
It has been observed growing in evergreen forests at elevations of 50–1,200 meters (160–3,940 ft).
