Eriolaena is a genus of flowering plants. Traditionally included in the family Sterculiaceae, it is included now in the recently expanded Malvaceae.[2] The genus is distributed in Asia and eastern Africa, from southern China through Indochina to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and coastal Mozambique.[1][3][4]

These plants are trees or shrubs. They usually have single or paired white or yellow flowers, but some species have larger inflorescences. The fruit is a hard capsule with winged seeds.[3] The winged seeds make the genus distinctive in its family.[5]

The former Madagascan genera Helmiopsiella and Helmiopsis are now considered synonyms of Eriolaena.[1] These genera were named in honour of C. Helm, German clergyman in Berlin and amateur botanist.[6]
