Cananga (ultimately from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kanaŋa)[2] is a small genus of trees in the family Annonaceae, native to Indo-China and Malesia, but introduced elsewhere.[3] One of its species, Cananga odorata, is important as the source of the perfume ylang-ylang.[4]
Species
Two species are recognized:[3][5]
- Cananga brandisiana (Pierre) Saff., syn. Cananga latifolia (Hook.f. & Thomson) Finet & Gagnep.
- Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson
Cananga latifolia is listed as a separate species in some sources,[6] but the basionym, Unona latifolia Hook.f. & Thomson, is a later homonym of Unona latifolia Dunal and so is not an acceptable name. Unona brandisiana was explicitly proposed as a replacement name.[5]
