Benthamidia

See list of 2 species in this genus

Benthamia Spach is the oldest name for this genus; however, it is a later homonym of Benthamia A. Rich. The next oldest genus is Benthamidia Spach (and the one used 
here). Benthamidia is here treated conservatively as including Dendrobenthamia (the multiple-fruit species).
