Retama rhodorhizoides is a species or subspecies of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, ^[2] endemic to the Canary Islands. ^[3]

Taxonomy

Retama rhodorhizoides was first described by Philip Barker-Webb and Sabin Berthelot in a work dated to 1836–1850 that was initially published in parts. An illustration of the species, first published in 1837, was labelled Genista rhodorhizoides. ^{[1] [4]} When the authors published a Latin description in 1842, they transferred the species to Retama . ^{[1] [5]}

The species is included in Retama monosperma by some sources, ^[6] and, according to the African Plants Database, has been incorrectly identified as Retama raetam by others. ^[7] Retama rhodorhizoides is restricted to the Canary Islands. ^{[3] [2]}
