Elaeocarpus munroi is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of southern India , in the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. It grows in montane evergreen rain forest and shola forest from 600 to 2,000 metres elevation.[1]
It was first formally described in 1838 by Robert Wight who gave it the name Monocera munroii in his book Illustrations of Indian Botany.[3][4] In 1874, Maxwell T. Masters changed the name to Elaeocarpus munroi in the Hooker's Flora of British India.[2][5] The specific epithet (munroi) honours the botanist, William Munro.[4]
