Toussaintia orientalis is a species of plant in the Annonaceae family. It is endemic to Tanzania. It is also found Kenya, although the only known site in Kenya, which is Mangea may now be destroyed. At Mangea most if not all of the forest has gone because of agricultural expansion. In Tanzania, there is intensive agriculture in Ifakara and the species may also have now disappeared from that locality. The Pugu Forest Reserve has also been badly impacted by human activities, however the species is better protected in the other forest reserves where it occurs.
