Perrottetia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Dipentodontaceae described in 1824. [2] [1] [4] Species occur in China, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, Hawaii, Australia, and Latin America. [3] [5] [6] It is the largest genus of the recently described order Huerteales.
This genus was previously placed in the staff vine family Celastraceae, [2] but molecular evidence has shown that it not related and better placed with Dipentodon in a separate family Dipentodontaceae.
