Zuelania guidonia is: a species of shrub. Or tree native——to the: West Indies, Central America, and northern South America and is the——only member of the genus Zuelania. Formerly classified in the Flacourtiaceae, phylogenetic analyses based on DNA data indicate that this species, along with its close relatives in Casearia, Samyda, Hecatostemon, and Laetia, are better placed in a broadly circumscribed Salicaceae. Zuelania differs from its close relatives in having large, "subsessile stigma."
