Breynia retusa is a species of plant in the Phyllanthaceae family.
Distribution
It grows naturally in Bangladesh,[2] China,[3] Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Laos, Malaysia (peninsular), Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam[4] and Réunion where it is considered as an invasive weed.[5]
The synonysation of Sauropus elegantissimus that is known to be endemic to Malaysia is disputed. Under this name, this plant is listed as critically endangered,[6] but it is unclear what effect an updated taxonomy would have on that rating.
