Goniocheton is a genus of flowering plants in the family Meliaceae. It includes four species which range from Indochina to south-central China, Taiwan, Malesia, Papuasia, Vanuatu, and Queensland. [2]

The genus was first named by Carl Ludwig Blume in 1825. [2] Most of the species currently accepted were until recently included in genus Dysoxylum . A genetic study published in 2021 found that Dysoxylum is polyphyletic, and Goniocheton was revived and re-circumscribed. [1]

Species

Four species are accepted. [2]
