Pseuduvaria setosa is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Peninsular Malaysia and Peninsular Thailand. George King, the botanist who first formally described the species under the basionym Orophea setosa, named it after the bristly (setosus in Latin) hairs on its leaves and petioles.
It has been observed growing on limestone granite substrates, in lowland evergreen forests at elevations of 50–400 meters (160–1,310 ft).
Bioactive compounds, including the alkaloid liriodenine, extracted from its aerial tissues have been observed in laboratory tests to have antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, and cytotoxicity to cultured human cancer cell lines.
