Podophorus is an extinct genus of plants in the grass family.[1][2][3][4] The only known species is Podophorus bromoides, which was native to Robinson Crusoe Island in the South Pacific Ocean. This is one of the Juan Fernández Islands, part of the Republic of Chile. The plant was last collected in the wild in the mid-19th century[5] and is now considered extinct.[6][7]
