Pleuranthodendron lindenii

Pleuranthodendron is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae. It consists of one species (Pleuranthodendron lindenii) of small to medium-sized trees native to the neotropics, specifically Central America and northern South America.[1] Formerly placed in the heterogeneous family Flacourtiaceae,[2] Pleuranthodendron is now classified in Salicaceae, along with close relatives Hasseltia and Macrothumia, with which they are commonly confused.[1][3][4]
