Hedycarya is a genus of dioecious[2] trees and shrubs of the family Monimiaceae. It includes 16 species native to eastern Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, New Caledonia, the Samoan Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu.[1] The genus was named and formerly described in 1776 by botanists Johann and Georg Forster in Characteres Generum Plantarum.[3] The limit of the genus may require change as it appears paraphyletic in phylogenetic analyses,[4] with the genera Kibaropsis and Levieria nested in it.
