It appears that B. rhamnoides name is a synonym of the following, although you'd have to track down the reference for both species descriptions, along with their types, to verify this.
Breynia vitis-idaea (Burm. f.) C. E. C. Fisch.

According to Wikipedia Breynia is a genus of plant in the family Phyllanthaceae, which contains 35 species and is spread across several continents.
It also says that there are many other names for this genus, including:
Foersteria
Forsteria
Melanthes
Melanthesa
Melanthesopsis
So its latin name could be construed as
Foersteria rhamnoides
Forsteria rhamnoides
Melanthes rhamnoides
Melanthesa rhamnoides
Melanthesopsis rhamnoides
I have searched hard on Google and I don't think it has a common name in English.
