Prismatomeris tetrandra is a shrub or small tree from forests and thickets across south and southeast Asia, growing up to about 8 m high. It is a wild woodland species rarely cultivated, so care advice is largely general and it needs warm, humid, shaded conditions like other tropical understory Rubiaceae.
Prismatomeris tetrandra is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is a shrub or tree with leathery or papery leaves, white or pale purple flowers, and ovoid drupes. The species is native to a large region of south and south-east Asia.
Prismatomeris tetrandra was described in 1824, and is listed as of Least Concern by the IUCN.
