Ahernia is a genus of a single species (Ahernia glandulosa) of trees in the willow family Salicaceae found in Hainan province of China and Luzon island of the Philippines . Previously it was treated in the family Flacourtiaceae[1] or Achariaceae.[2] Ahernia is closely related to the American genera Hasseltia, Macrothumia, and Pleuranthodendron, but differs in its axillary racemes and more numerous (10–15) petals.[3][4] Ahernia glandulosa is found in low elevation primary forests and is known in the Tagalog language as butun or sanglai. It grows 8–15 m (26–49 ft) tall.[5]
