Trilepisium gymnandrum is a species of urnfig that is endemic to the Seychelles, where it is threatened by habitat loss.^[1] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Five mature individuals are known in two sub-populations in the mid to high altitude forests of Silhouette Island. The 18th century populations of the larger Mahé and Praslin islands have presumably been extirpated.^[1]

The NPTS has established a new population on Silhouette island.^[2]
