Rhodamnia is a group of rainforest trees and shrubs in the myrtle family described as a genus in 1822.[2][3][4][5][6] They are native to southern China, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, Australia, and New Caledonia.[1][4][7]
The name is derived from the Greek rhodon, which means "rose", and amnion, "bowl" where the blood of lambs was poured after sacrifice. It refers to the bowl-shaped calyx tubes.[8] Leaves are opposite and mostly three veined in appearance. The fruit is a small berry with a few seeds.
