Saurauia clementis is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae.

[3] Elmer Drew Merrill, the American botanist who first formally described the species, named it after Mary Strong Clemens, the American botanist who collected the specimen that he examined.

The leaves are dark on their upper side, paler below, and bristly on both surfaces.

Inflorescences are axillary cymes with a few flowers organized on densely bristly peduncles 4–8 centimeters (1.6–3.1 in) in length.

The exposed parts of the outer surface of the sepals have dark purple bristles that are 3 millimeters (0.12 in) long.
