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

[3][4] Elmer Drew Merrill, the American botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the distinctive abundant small bumps, or papillae, (papillōsus in Latin)[5] on the underside of its leaves.

[6][7] Saurauia papillulosa is a small tree 10–12 m (33–39 ft) in height with white flowers.

Its white corolla has 5 lobes that are fused only at their base and are 8 millimeters long with a notched tip.

[9] It is found in wooded areas on Mount Polis in Luzon at around 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level.
