[1] Leaves or whorled (or opposite in Pancheria confusa ), simple or pinnate. The flowers are arranged in capitula, fruits are follicular. The species are dioecious. The genus is well diversified on ultramafic rocks and some species are nickel hyperaccumulators. [2] It is related to Cunonia and Weinmannia . [3] It was named after Jean Armand Isidore Pancher.
