Mitrephora samarensis is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae.

[3] Elmer Drew Merrill, the American botanist who first formally described the species, named it after Samar, the third largest island in the Philippines, where the sample he examined was collected.

Each flower is on a fleshy, densely hairy pedicel 1–1.5 centimeters long.

They are yellow and orange with red highlights and have wavy margins.

[4] The pollen of M. samarensis is shed as permanent tetrads.
