Polyspora is a genus of flowering plants in the tea family (Theaceae). It includes 47 species, which range from India through Indochina, southern China, Malesia, Taiwan and New Guinea.[1]

The genus is highly valued for its ornamental qualities. Particularly, these species flowers during the winter, and enhance garden landscapes visually with their attractive foliage, fruits, bark, and overall form.[2] They are generally fast-growing and adaptable, with leaves that have high water content, and capable of thriving in poor, mountainous soils, making them suitable for afforestation in tropical and subtropical regions.[2] In addition, some species contain natural antioxidant compounds with potential health-related applications.[2]
