Xylosma grossecrenata is a slender erect shrub or small tree from New Caledonia, reaching about 4 m, that is rare in the wild and listed as endangered. It is not a common garden or houseplant, so care guidance is general and based on its tropical origin.
Xylosma grossecrenata (syn. Lasiochlamys grossecrenata) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. Formerly a member of Lasiochlamys, the name was given in 1980 when this taxon was transferred to Xylosma. It is listed as a protected species by the National Natural Heritage Inventory and is classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List.
The range of Xylosma grossecrenata is restricted to New Caledonia, extending across west-central Grande Terre, occurring across the communes of Bourail, Koné, Pouembout, and Poya. Notable localities where it is present include the Nessadiou River of the Bourail commune; the Népoui River of the Poya commune; and Pic de Tiaoué of the Pouembout commune.
