Rhaphidura lowii is a rare shrub in the coffee family (Rubiaceae), the only species in its genus, known only from Sarawak in Borneo. It is a wild tropical forest species with little or no cultivation history, so practical care information is scarce.
Rhaphidura lowii is a species of plant in the family Rubiaceae, the sole species in the monotypic genus Rhaphidura. It is endemic to Borneo, where it is known only from Sarawak state. It is tentatively placed in the tribe Urophylleae, but was not included in a 2011 molecular phylogenetic study of that tribe.
