Zygogynum

Zygogynum is a genus of plants in the family Winteraceae with 47 species as of October 2024[update].

Initially, the genus was thought to be endemic to New Caledonia, but in 1985 Willem Vink transferred the related genera Bubbia and Exospermum to Zygogynum, thus extending the range westward.

[2] More recently, new species have been identified and described which again extends the range of the genus such that it now includes Borneo.

[3] Plants in this genus are evergreen shrubs or small trees, leaves are alternate, undivided, and hairless; they may have a peppery taste.
