Labramia is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1844. De Candolle initially named the genus Delastrea,[3] which is a homonym for an older fungus name by Tulasne, so De Candolle changed the name to Labramia in the appendix to the same book.[4][1]

Labramia is native to certain islands in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar and nearby Mayotte).[2]
