Asemeia marquesiana (Marques' asemeia) is an evergreen shrub in the milkwort family, native to Brazil, found in moist riverbank and wetland habitats. It is a wild species with little cultivation history, so there is little established home-garden advice.
Asemeia marquesiana, commonly known as Marques' asemeia, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Polygalaceae.
It was first described in 2008 by American botanist, John Richard Abbott and Brazilian botanist, José Floriano Barêa Pastore. This evergreen shrub species is native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and grows in moist habitats, such as riverbanks and wetlands.
