Dischidia puberula is a climbing epiphytic subshrub in the Asclepiadaceae (milkweed) family that is endemic to the Mariana Islands of Guam, Rota and Saipan.

Dischidia puberula was first collected for scientific analysis by French botanist Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré during the Freycinet expedition to the Mariana Islands in 1819.

Gaudichaud mentioned in his botanical survey an unnamed Dischidia species growing up trees on Guam, although he recorded no indigenous name for the plant.

[17] Leaf tissue from preserved specimens was sampled for chemical analysis by Eliot Smith and Edward Straw in 2023.

[22] In 2006, Tatyana Livshultz from the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University identified two herbarium specimens collected from Vonikoro (Solomon Island) as Dischidia puberula (rather than the Solomon Island endemic Dischidia cominsii); the flowers from these specimens were described as red with yellow petal tips,[23] or pink petals with white tips.

[24] However, as of 2025, Plants of the World Online still lists Dischidia puberula as being endemic only to the Mariana Islands.
