Cyclamen rhodium (also called Cyclamen peloponnesiacum; once included in Cyclamen repandum) is a species of flowering plant in genus Cyclamen of the family Primulaceae, native to the Peloponnese, Rhodes, and southwestern Kos. It is a tuberous perennial growing to 10 cm (4 in), with mottled, heart-shaped leaves and pink flowers, darker carmine pink at the base, appearing in spring. Like all cyclamens, the flowers consist of five upswept, reflexed petals.[1][2]
There are three subspecies, distinguished by range and flower color.
Cyclamen rhodium subsp. rhodium is white or pale pink with a pink nose and grows in shaded woodland and shrubland on the islands of Rhodes and Kos.
Cyclamen rhodium subsp. peloponnesiacum J. Compton & Culham is pink with a deep carmine-pink mouth and grows in shaded woodland in the Taygetus Mountains in the southern Peloponnese and near Mt. Aroania in the north.
Cyclamen rhodium subsp. vividum J. Compton & Culham is deep carmine-magenta and grows in sunny areas on the southeastern coast of the Peloponnese.

Rodijska ciklama (lat. Cyclamen rhodium) je vrsta višegodišnje biljke iz roda ciklama, koju neki autori smatraju podvrstom primorske ciklame.
Ova biljka je rasprostranjena isključivo na grčkim otocima Peleponezu, Rodosu i na sjeverozapadnom Kosu. Najčešće nastanjuje šumovita i grmovita područja.
Cvjetovi najčešće rastu u proljeće. Boja im je ružičasta, a na dnu svake latice nalazi se jedan tamnoružičasto obojen dio. Imaju pet latica, koje su najčešće duže nego šire. Listovi su zeleni, te na gornjoj površini imaju srebrnaste šare.
