It consists of six evergreen tree species in particular native to Vietnam, China, Peninsular Malaysia, and Borneo. They are dioecious. The leaves are opposite and the leave blade is 1-foliolate. The inflorescences can be axillary, thyrsoid or racemose. The four sepals are connated on the basis. The four petals are imbricated in the bud. The eight stamens are distinct. The opposite sepals are almost as long as the petals which are in male and in female flowers.

Species

Maclurodendron obovatum, Maclurodendron oligophlebium, and Maclurodendron porteri were formerly classified by Joseph Dalton Hooker and Elmer Drew Merrill into the genus Acronychia. Maclurodendron pubescens and Maclurodendron parviflorum are listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List.

gollark: We already have had those.
gollark: I read some rough prediction that humanity has a 1 in 6 risk of being entirely wiped out in the next 100 years.
gollark: Neither of which would be very good, of course.
gollark: Possibly? But wiping out *all humanity* is hard. Wiping out civilization is much easier though.
