Macrohasseltia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the willow family, Salicaceae. It consists of one species of tree: Macrohasseltia macroterantha, which is native to Central America. Formerly placed in the heterogeneous family Flacourtiaceae,[2] Macrohasseltia is now classified in Salicaceae,[3] along with close relatives Bennettiodendron, Carrierea, Idesia, Itoa, Olmediella, Poliothyrsis, and even the willows (Salix) and cottonwoods (Populus) themselves.[4]
