Lebronnecia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. The sole species is Lebronnecia kokioides, a very rare flowering shrub.
==Distribution== Only a few hundred specimens are known to exist. The plant was first described in 1966, after a single tree with a few seedlings was discovered on Tahuata, an island in the Marquesas group of French Polynesia that had been severely deforested by livestock: cattle, goats, horses, and pigs.
