Fenerivia

Fenerivia is a genus of flowering plants in the custard apple and soursop family Annonaceae, with all species endemic to Madagascar. Fenerivia inflorescences have a prominent flange below the perianth, which is unique to the genus. The complete chloroplast genome of Fenerivia ghesquiereana was published in 2021.
