Eliea is a genus of flowering plants, shrubs or small trees, in the St. Johnswort family, Hypericaceae. It comprises a single species, Eliea articulata, which is endemic to Madagascar .[1]
The genus was named in honor of M. Elie de Beaumont.[3] Eliea articulata was originally described as Hypericum articulatum Lam. in 1797.[4] It was renamed Eliea articulata in 1830, published in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles.[5]
It is a small shrub growing up to 10 ft (3.0 m) in height with jointed branches and opposite leaves.[3] The flowers have five petals, numerous stamens, and three styles.[3]
Eliea brevistyla and Eliea majorifolia are considered synonyms in Kew's Plants of the World Online and the Tropicos Catalogue of the Plants of Madagascar.[1][6]
