Retama rhodorhizoides is a species or subspecies of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae,[2] endemic to the Canary Islands.

[3] Retama rhodorhizoides was first described by Philip Barker-Webb and Sabin Berthelot in a work dated to 1836–1850 that was initially published in parts.

An illustration of the species, first published in 1837, was labelled Genista rhodorhizoides.

[1][4] When the authors published a Latin description in 1842, they transferred the species to Retama.

[7] Retama rhodorhizoides is restricted to the Canary Islands.
