Cullenia ceylanica Cullenia exarillata syn.

Cullenia excelsa Cullenia rosayroana Cullenia is a genus of flowering plants native to India and Sri Lanka.

Earlier classification schemes placed the genus in the kapok-tree family (Bombacaceae), but the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group places it in the mallow family (Malvaceae).

The name is after General William Cullen (1785–1862), a Resident in the court of the Maharaja of Travancore who also took an interest in botany.
