Hoplestigma

Hoplestigma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hoplestigmataceae. One study of pollen suggested that Hoplestigma might be related to the family Ehretiaceae. In a comparison of chloroplast DNA sequences in 2014, Hoplestigma formed a strongly supported clade with Coldenia and genera that have always been placed in Cordiaceae. The authors of that study recommended that Hoplestigma and Coldenia be included in Cordiaceae. Hoplestigma has two species. Both are rare trees of lowland jungle in West and Central Africa.
