Abatia is a genus of Central- and South-American trees from the family Flacourtiaceae (according to Cronquist). Some authors put it in the family Passifloraceae, tribe Abatieae or even in the Willow family Salicaceae.


Abatia has opposite leaves with very small stipules and marginal glands at the base of the blade of the leaf. The valvate (= meeting at the edges without overlapping) perianth (= sepal and petal together) members are closely joined at the base. They bear many filamentous processes.
