Xylosma rivularis (syn. Lasiochlamys rivularis) 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.
The range of Xylosma rivularis is restricted to New Caledonia, extending across west-central and southeastern Grande Terre, occurring across the communes of Le Mont-Dore, Pouembout, and Yaté. Notable localities where it is present include Montagne des Sources and the Rivière Bleue within the Le Mont-Dore and Yaté communes; and the forests of the Pouembout commune.
