Roseomonas elaeocarpi is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from the leaf of an olive-like tree (Elaeocarpus hygrophilus) in the Ubon Ratchathani province, Thailand. The species name is derived from the genus of tree from which the species was first isolated.
