Melhania polyneura is a plant in the family Malvaceae.
Melhania polyneura grows as a herb up to 20 centimetres (8 in) tall. The oblong or ovate leaves are tomentose and measure up to 4 cm (2 in) long. Inflorescences are four-flowered. The flowers have yellow petals.[3]
The type specimen of Melhania polyneura, no longer extant, was collected in 1895 in Mwanza District, Tanzania. Its habitat may have been in wooded grasslands at altitudes of about 1,200 m (4,000 ft). Changes in area land use to small farms since the initial specimen have resulted in the IUCN assessment as Critically Endangered.[1]
