'''''Rohdea''''' is a genus of plants native to eastern [Asia](/source/Asia) ([China](/source/China), [Japan](/source/Japan), the [Himalayas](/source/Himalayas) and [Indochina](/source/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. Pl. Sp. 196. 1821. ]</ref> but recent studies have resulted in several other taxa being transferred into the genus.<ref>Tanaka, N. (2010). A taxonomic revision of the genus Rohdea (Asparagaceae). Makinoa , n.s., 9: 1-54.</ref><ref>Govaerts, R.H.A. (2011). World checklist of selected plant families published update. Facilitated by the Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.</ref>

In the [APG III classification system](/source/APG_III_system), it is placed in the [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) [Asparagaceae](/source/Asparagaceae), subfamily [Convallarioideae](/source/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](/source/Michael_Rohde_(botanist)) (1782-1812), a botanist from [Bremen](/source/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>
