Synonyms[1]

Petersianthus is a genus of woody plant in the Lecythidaceae family first described as a genus in 1865 under the name Petersia.[3][4] This turned out to be an illegitimate homonym, meaning that it had already been used by someone else to refer to a very different plant.[5][6] So the name of these species in the Lecythidaceae was changed to Petersianthus.[7][8] It is native to the Philippines and to parts of Africa.[1] The following two species belong to this genus, with the basionyms of both taxa belonging to what is known today as the family Combretaceae.

species[1]
  1. Petersianthus macrocarpus [fr] (P.Beauv.) Liben (syn. Combretum macrocarpum P.Beauv.[9])[10] - Guinea, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cabinda, Gabon, Angola
  2. Petersianthus quadrialatus (Merr.) Merr. (syn. Terminalia quadrialata Merr.[11])[7] - Philippines
