Labourdonnaisia is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae found in tropical Asia, described as a genus in 1841.[2][3]
Labourdonnaisia is native to certain islands in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar , Mauritius, Réunion).[1][4]
The genus is named for Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais (1699 – 1753), French governor of Mauritius 1735–1740.[5]
The Labourdonnaisia tree species can also sometimes be confused with the Mascarene trees of the genus Sideroxylon. However the Labourdonnaisia species have parallel venation on their leaves, while the Sideroxylon species have densely netted leaf-venation and strong midribs under their leaves.
