Xylosma pseudocoriacea is a small, slender shrub or tree from the mountains of New Caledonia, known from only a few localities and listed as vulnerable. It is rarely grown outside its native habitat, so care guidance is general and based on related tropical Xylosma species.
Xylosma pseudocoriacea (syn. Lasiochlamys pseudocoriacea) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. Formerly a member of Lasiochlamys, the new name was given in 2023 when the genus was transferred to Xylosma. It is listed as a protected species by the National Natural Heritage Inventory and was classified as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List in 1998.
The range of Xylosma pseudocoriacea is restricted to New Caledonia, and is only documented from a limited extent in central Grande Terre, occupying the communes of Kouaoua and Moindou. It is exclusively recorded from Mé Ori and the areas surrounding the mountain.
