Glochidion longfieldiae, also known by the synonym Glochidion longfieldiae or kaema in the Rapa language, is a species of tree or shrub in the Phyllanthaceae family. It is endemic to the island of Rapa in the Austral Islands in French Polynesia.[1][2] Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is extremely closely related to the tree Glochidion rapaense, which is also endemic to Rapa.[3]
