Wuodendron is a genus of plants in the family Annonaceae and tribe Miliuseae, containing the type and only species Wuodendron praecox. It is distributed from northeastern India north to southern China and southeast through most of Mainland Southeast Asia.
==Conservation status and description== The single species (under its synonym P. litseifolia) is described as a subtropical and tropical forest tree growing to 40 m tall, with greyish brown bark and glabrous, brown branches. Under this name it has been considered Endangered on the IUCN Red List, which considers it to have a much smaller range (only Yunnan, China) than the wider range now recorded, considering the synonyms and revised nomenclature.
