Rehderodendron is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Styracaceae, native to southeastern Asia, from southwestern China south to Myanmar and Vietnam. [1]
The genus name of Rehderodendron is in honour of Alfred Rehder (1863–1949), a German-American botanical taxonomist and dendrologist who worked at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. [2] It was first described and published in Sinensia Vol.2 on page 109 in 1932. [3]
The species are small deciduous trees growing to 10–15 m tall. [1]
40 fossil endocarps of †Rehderodendron custodum from the early Miocene, have been found in the Kristina Mine at Hrádek nad Nisou in North Bohemia, the Czech Republic. [6]
