Rehia is a genus of plants in the grass family.[2][3][4][5] The only known species is Rehia nervata, native to Brazil (Amapá, Pará, Maranhão) and to the Guianas (Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana).[6]

The genus name of Rehia is in honour of Richard Eric Holttum (1895–1990), who was an English botanist and author.[7]
