It is native to the Neotropics (where around 175 species have been found), Madagascar, Papa New Guinea, Indonesia and southern Asia from Pakistan east to Vietnam. The genus had been included in Bursera, but is distinct, being most closely related to Crepidospermum and Tetragastris. The species are usually small or medium-sized trees, but some can be large, up to 35 m (115 ft) tall.
