Phyllanthus papenooensis is a rare tree endemic to Tahiti, restricted to wetland habitats and legally protected in French Polynesia. It is not a commonly grown plant, so care guidance is based on general knowledge of wet-tropical Phyllanthus trees.
Phyllanthus papenooense, also known by its synonym Glochidion papenooense, is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the island of Tahiti in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, where it is restricted to wetland habitats. Because of its rarity, it is protected by law in French Polynesia.
The species was first described as Glochidion papenooense by Jacques Florence in 1996. In 2011 Warren Lambert Wagner and David H. Lorence placed the species in genus Phyllanthus as P. papenooensis.
