Triumfetta rhomboidea, commonly known as diamond burbark,[2] Chinese bur, or kulutkulutan in Tagalog, is a shrub that is extensively naturalised in tropical regions.[3][4] It is thought that to have come to Australia from China.[3] Its bark—sometimes called burbark--makes a kind of jute.

The taxon was first formally described in 1760 by botanist Nikolaus von Jacquin.[5]
