Medinilla sedifolia is a perennial plant of the Melastomataceae family that grows primarily in Madagascar, but is occasionally used as a terrarium plant, an epiphyte mounting, or in hanging pots. It is small for the genus, growing only three to six inches tall. The waxy evergreen leaves grow on a trailing stem. It flowers twice per year, the five petaled flowers are magenta, waxy to the touch, and about a half inch wide when fully grown.
