Pseudohydrosme gabunensis, commonly known as the Gabon false hydrosme, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It was described by Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler in 1892.
Pseudohydrosme gabunensis is endemic to the surrounding areas, and within Libreville, Gabon, where it grows in lowland tropical rainforests. Specimens are only known from five recorded sites, four being within Libreville, and the other being in the Komo Department, Gabon.
Pseudohydrosme gabunensis is being over-exploited as an ornamental plant, from which collectors are trying to make a profit on the illegal plant trade, or keeping the specimens for themselves, being very similar to Pseudohydrosme ebo.
