Brachynema (plant)

Brachynema Benth. is a genus in the plant family Olacaceae. It is a neotropical genus of 1 or 2 species of trees. Its placement is still somewhat controversial as molecular data is lacking and morphological data suggests a place outside Olacaceae and instead in Ericales

There is a homonymic genus of stinkbugs, Brachynema Mulsant & Rey (1852).
