Name

Leonia Ruiz & Pav., Fl. Peruv. [Ruiz & Pavon] 2: 69, t. 222. (1799)

• Type species: Leonia glycycarpa Ruiz & Pav., Fl. Peruv. [Ruiz & Pavon] 2: 69. (1799)
  

Note: Gloeospermum, Mayanaea and Rinoreocarpus are subsumed into an expanded Leonia by Govaerts et al. (2020), but other sources have not followed this circumscription and so WS is taking a conservative view.
