Tristania is a monotypic genus of flowering plants native to New South Wales, Australia, closely related to Thaleropia.[1] The genus had a number of species, but some have been reclassified as Lophostemon and Tristaniopsis. The sole species currently in the genus is Tristania neriifolia. It is commonly known as the water gum.[2] The genus is named for the French botanist Jules Marie Claude de Tristan (1776-1861).[3]
