Tateanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Melastomataceae. [1] It only contains one known species, Tateanthus duidaeGleason [1]

It is native to northern Brazil and Venezuela. [1]

The genus name of Tateanthus is in honour of George Henry Hamilton Tate (1894–1953), an English-born American zoologist and botanist, who worked as a mammalogist for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. [2] The Latin specific epithet of duidae refers to Cerro Duida (or Mount Duida). [3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club Vol.58 on page 424 in 1931. [1]
