Petersianthus is a genus of woody plant in the Lecythidaceae family first described as a genus in 1865 under the name Petersia.[3][4] This turned out to be an illegitimate homonym, meaning that it had already been used by someone else to refer to a very different plant.[5][6] So the name of these species in the Lecythidaceae was changed to Petersianthus.[7][8] It is native to the Philippines and to parts of Africa.[1]
