Fortunearia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Hamamelidaceae. It just contains one species, Fortunearia sinensis Rehder & E.H.Wilson, a shrub or tree native to southern and north-central China.[1]
Its genus name is in honour of Robert Fortune (1812–1880), Scottish botanist, plant hunter and traveller in Asia,[2] and the specific epithet sinensis means "from China".[3]
It was first described and published in Plantae Wilsonianae Vol.1 on page 427 in 1913.[1]
