Licania

Licania is a genus of over 100 species of trees and shrubs in the family Chrysobalanaceae.

Many species are either rare or restricted in distribution and therefore potentially threatened with future extinction. In 2016, a new circumscription of Licania was outlined, with over 100 species being placed in
