Species[1]

Chengiodendron is a genus of flowering plants in the olive family, Oleaceae. It includes three species native to Indochina, southern China including Taiwan and Hainan, the Ryukyu Islands, and Assam.[1]

These species were previously included in the Leiolea clade of genus Osmanthus as Osmanthus marginatus, O. matsumuranus, and O. minor. A phylogenetic study revealed that they were paraphyletic to the rest of the genus, and they were placed in the new genus Chengiodendron.[2]
