Rohdea is a genus of plants native to eastern Asia ( China, Japan, the Himalayas and Indochina). [2] It was long thought to contain only a single species, R. japonica, [3] but recent studies have resulted in several other taxa being transferred into the genus. [4] [5]
In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae [6]). It has also been placed in the former family Convallariaceae.
Although sometimes misspelled as Rhodea, the genus was actually named after Michael Rohde (1782-1812), a botanist from Bremen. [7]
