'''''Rohdea''''' is a genus of plants native to eastern Asia (China, Japan, the Himalayas and Indochina).<ref name="rhoda">[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=286749 Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families]</ref> It was long thought to contain only a single species, ''R. japonica'',<ref name="j">[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=128697 Flora of China, Vol. 24 Page 239, <big>万年青属</big> wan nian qing shu, ''Rohdea'' Roth, Nov.

In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Convallarioideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae<ref>{{Citation |last=Chase |first=M.W. |last2=Reveal |first2=J.L. |last3=Fay |first3=M.F. |year=2009 |title=A subfamilial classification for the expanded asparagalean families Amaryllidaceae, Asparagaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=161 |issue=2 |pages=132–136 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00999.x|name-list-style=amp |doi-access=free }}</ref>). It has also been placed in the former family Convallariaceae.

Although sometimes misspelled as ''Rhodea'', the genus was actually named after Michael Rohde (1782-1812), a botanist from Bremen.<ref>Umberto Quattrocchi {{google books|zIOvJSJs-IkC|CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology; Volume IV R-Z (2000)|page=2329}}</ref>
