Rhodostemonodaphne is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lauraceae . ^{[1] [2]} It is a neotropical genus consisting of approximately 41 species occurring in Central America and northern South America. ^[3] This genus has many species that are valued for timber. The classification of the genus is unclear since the species in the genus fall into a well-supported but unresolved clade that also includes species with unisexual flowers currently placed in the genera Endlicheria and part of Ocotea . ^[4]

Description

Rhodostemonodaphne are shrubs and trees up to 30 m tall, mostly hardwood evergreen trees. They are dioecious (male and female flowers are on separate trees). The stamens have four locelli situated in a shallow arch towards the apex of the anthers. The leaves are alternately arranged, elliptic with recurved margins, and thin (chartaceous). ^[5] The inflorescence of small flowers is a panicle with racemose terminations.
