Meiocarpidium lepidotum is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Cameroon, The Central African Republic, The Republic of the Congo, and Gabon.[2] Daniel Oliver, the English botanist who first formally described the species using the basionym Unona lepidota, named it after rust-colored, shiny scales (Latinized form of Greek λεπίς, lepis)[3] on its branchlets, the underside of its leaves and its buds.[4]
