Cuminia is a genus of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, first described in 1835. It contains only one known species, Cuminia eriantha. It is endemic to Robinson [Crusoe Island], one of the Juan [Fernández Islands] in the southeast Pacific, off the coast of Chile and politically a part of that country.
Two varieties are recognized, regarded by some as distinct species:
  1. Cuminia eriantha var. eriantha
  2. Cuminia eriantha var. fernandezia Harley
The species is listed as "critically endangered".
