Rhodamnia whiteana
Rhodamnia whiteana, known as the cliff malletwood or White's malletwood , is a sub-tropical rainforest plant of eastern Australia. It was first formally described in 1986 by Gordon Guymer and Laurence Jessup from a specimen collected from Mount Cordeaux.
It is named in honour of the botanist C.T.White. The generic name Rhodamnia is derived from the Greek Rhodon which means "rose", and aminon, "bowl" where the blood of lambs was poured after sacrifice. It refers to the bowl shaped calyx tubes.
