171; see text Uvaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Annonaceae.
The generic name uvaria is derived from the Latin uva meaning grape, likely because the edible fruit of some species in the genus resemble grapes.
[3] This large genus had about 150 species,[3] and recent molecular analyses have revealed that several smaller genera belong within Uvaria, increasing its size.
The flowers are borne singly, in pairs, or in small clusters.
[3] There are 171 accepted Uvaria species as of June 2024, according to Plants of the World Online.
