Glochidion longfieldiae, or kaema in the Rapa language, is a species of tree or shrub in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the island of Rapa in the Austral Islands in French Polynesia.[3][4] Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is extremely closely related to the tree Glochidion rapaense, which is also endemic to Rapa.[5]
