Xylosma trichostemona is a shrub or small tree endemic to southeastern New Caledonia, found in montane and submontane wet forests. It is a protected species, so it is grown mainly as a native conservation or botanical plant rather than a common garden subject.
Xylosma trichostemona (syn. Lasiochlamys trichostemona) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. Formerly a member of Lasiochlamys, the name was reinstated 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 conservation dependent by the IUCN Red List in 1998.
The range of Xylosma trichostemona is restricted to New Caledonia, extending across southeastern Grande Terre, occurring across the communes of Dumbéa, Le Mont-Dore, and Yaté. Notable localities where it is present include the Rivière Bleue of both the Le Mont-Dore and Yaté communes; the valley of Thy in both the Dumbéa and Le Mont-Dore communes; and Mont Koghi and Pic Malaoui within the Dumbéa commune.
