Cananga (ultimately from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kanaŋa)[2] is a small genus of trees in the family Annonaceae, native to areas from Indo-China through Malesia to Australia, and introduced elsewhere.

[3] One of its species, Cananga odorata, is important as the source of the perfume ylang-ylang.

[4] Two species are recognized:[3][5] Cananga latifolia is listed as a separate species in some sources,[6] but the basionym, Unona latifolia Hook.f.

& Thomson, is a later homonym of Unona latifolia Dunal and so is not an acceptable name.

Unona brandisiana was explicitly proposed as a replacement name.
