Denhamia

Genus of flowering plants

Denhamia is a genus of plants within the family Celastraceae, with species in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.[1] The species inhabit a variety of environments, from rainforest to semi-arid savanna. All species grow as shrubs or small trees up to 10 metres in height. 17 species are currently accepted.[1] Based on a molecular and morphological analysis, the genus was enlarged in 2011 to include several Australian and Pacific island species formerly classified as Maytenus – Denhamia bilocularis, D. cunninghamii, D. cupularis, D. disperma, D. fasciculiflora, D. ferdinandii, D.fournieri, and D. silvestris.[2]
