Elaeocarpus munroi is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family and is endemic to India. It was first formally described in 1838 by Robert Wight who gave it the name Monocera munroii in his book Illustrations of Indian Botany.[3][4] In 1874, Maxwell T. Masters changed the name to Elaeocarpus munroi in the Hooker's Flora of British India.[2][5] The specific epithet (munroi) honours the botanist, William Munro.[4]
