Ochrosia grandiflora is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae.[1] It is endemic to northwest and central New Caledonia.[1][2] It grows primarily in the wetland tropical biome,[2] and is found naturally as undergrowth[3] in lowland gallery forest[1] on schist or calcareous substrates.[1] It is relatively rare, and was first described by Pierre Boiteau in 1975.[3] According to Boiteau, it can reach the size of an 8 to 12 meter tree, but can be reduced to a 4 meter tall shrub.[3]
