Chicomendes rubiginosus is a species of flowering plant in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is the sole species in genus Chicomendes.[1] It is a monoecious vine with reddish-brown stems. It is endemic to Peru where it is known from a single population in lowland Amazonian rainforest near Loreto. There may be a second population in the adjacent Brazilian Amazon.[2]
The species was first named Tragia rubiginosa in 1989. It was placed in the monotypic genus Chicomendes in 2021.[1] The genus is named for Brazilian Amazonian environmentalist Chico Mendes, who was murdered in 1988.[2]
