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

[2] It was discovered on Mount Santo Tomas by Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer, the American botanist who first formally described the species, and named it after the small number, or sparse (sparsus in Latin),[3] flowers in its inflorescences.

Its oblong leaves vary in size but are generally 10 by 4 centimeters and have either rounded or shallowly pointed tips.

Its petioles are 5-20 millimeters long and covered in small gray scales.

Its white corolla is 15 millimeters in diameter and has 5 oblong lobes that are fused at their base.
