Glochidion tooviianum is a species of tree in the Phyllanthaceae family. It is endemic to the Toovii Plateau on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia.[1] Wagner and Lorence (2011)[2] consider this species to be the same as Phyllanthus marchionicus (syn. Glochidion marchionicum), as both species are indistinguishable except for the presence of pubescence on G. tooviianum and the absence of pubescence on P. marchionicus/G. marchionicum.
