About

Oldenlandia aretioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is a subshrub endemic to northwestern and southeastern Socotra in Yemen. It was collected in the 19th Century near Qallansiyah and near Wadi Faleng at opposite ends of the island, and hasn't been seen since. It is similar to O. pulvinata, but with smaller leaves and calyx.
