Savia dictyocarpa is plant belonging to the Phyllanthaceae family, native to Brazil.
The genus Kleinodendron was proposed in 1964 to contain a single species of woody plant, K. riosulense, from Santa Catarina, Brazil.
In 1982, however, botanist Grady Webster noted the similarity of those plants to S. dictyocarpa plants from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and considered all three populations to be part of S. dictyocarpa. This conclusion has been accepted by subsequent authors.Savia has since been moved from the family Euphorbiaceae to the family Phyllanthaceae.
