'''''Abatia''''' ([[Synonymy|syn.]] ''Raleighia'' [[George Gardner|Gardner]]) is a [[genus]] of about nine species of [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]]n [[tree]]s in the willow family [[Salicaceae]] (following the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] classification). Previously it was treated in the family [[Flacourtiaceae]], or tribe Abatieae of the family [[Passifloraceae]] (Lemke 1988) or [[Samydaceae]] by [[George Bentham|G. Bentham]] & [[Joseph Dalton Hooker|J.D. Hooker]] and [[John Hutchinson (botanist)|Hutchinson]].<br />
<br />
''Abatia'' has opposite [[Leaf|leaves]] with very small [[stipule]]s 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 [[Filament|filamentous]] processes.<br />
