From HandWiki

Sersalisia is a genus of trees in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1810.[1][2]

Past circumscriptions of the genus have included more species, several of which have now been transferred to other genera.[3][4] Recent phylogenetic and morphological studies support 5-7 species native to Australia, New Guinea, and Malesia.[5][6] Plants of the World Online currently accepts five species.[7]
