Rojasimalva is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Malvaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Rojasimalva tetrahedralis Fryxell [1]
It is native to Venezuela.[1]
The genus name of Rojasimalva is in honour of Carmen Emilia Benítez de Rojas (b. 1937), a Venezuelan botanist, university professor. She was also a specialist in Solanaceae.[2] The Latin specific epithet of tetrahedralis is a compound word made up of tetra meaning four, and hedra meaning face or faces.[3] Similar to Tetrahedron (a geometric shape with four faces). Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Ernstia Vol.28 on page 11 in 1984.[1]
