Hiomia

Hiomia is a genus of plants in the family Rubiaceae. This genus is native to tropical Africa. Species within Hiomia are typically shrubs or small trees. The leaves are simple and arranged oppositely. The flowers are usually small and inconspicuous, often borne in terminal or axillary inflorescences.

The genus Hiomia is relatively small, with only a few recognized species. These species are often found in various woodland and forest habitats across their native range. Information on their specific ecological roles or uses by local populations is not widely documented in readily accessible literature. Further research may be needed to fully understand the diversity and significance of this genus. The taxonomy of Hiomia has seen some revisions over time, with certain species having been previously placed in other genera or their classification being debated by botanists. As with many plant genera, ongoing studies in plant systematics contribute to a clearer understanding of its relationships within the broader family Rubiaceae.
