Calantica is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae.[1] It contains 10 species of shrubs and trees endemic to Madagascar , seven of which are threatened. Calantica is closely related to the pantropical and diverse genus Homalium, from which it differs in having a superior ovary, instead of a semi-inferior ovary.[2] The genus is also similar to Bivinia in its superior ovary but has numerous stamens and long spiciform inflorescences.
