Planchonella reticulata is a flowering plant in the sapodilla family, Sapotaceae. It is a shrub or tree endemic to east-central New Caledonia. The specific epithet refers to the reticulate venation (network-like pattern of the veins) on the leaves.
The species is endemic to the French territory of New Caledonia in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It has a scattered distribution on the central ultramafic massif and along the east coast of Grand Terre, from Goro to Tontouta and from Canala to Poro, and on the Isle of Pines. It grows in shrubland (maquis) or dense humid forest over ultramafic rock from 5 to 960 metres elevation.
