Fleurydora is a monotypic genus of plants in the family Ochnaceae.[2] The only species is Fleurydora felicis. It is endemic to Guinea. F felicis is a shrub or small tree, growing up to 15 meters in height. It grows on rocky areas in the Guinean forest–savanna and Guinean montane forests ecoregions. It has large yellow flowers.[3][1] Its fruits are small flattened winged seeds, which are dispersed by wind, unlike other species of Ochnaceae which have fleshy fruits.[1]
Its conservation is threatened by harvesting, mining and fires. This plant is harvested both for medicinal purposes and for firewood.[1]
