Type species.
Fenghwaia gardeniicarpa G.T. Wang & R.J. Wang.
Diagnosis.
Fenghwaia is distinctly different from other genera by a character combination of its cucullate flowering petals, inferior ovary with 3-locular and one ovule in each locule, elongate capsular fruit with five longitudinal ridges and verrucose seeds.
A single species is only known from China.
Etymology.
We dedicate this new genus to Professor Chen Fenghwai, a Chinese plant taxonomist, in honour of his great contribution to the botanical gardens in China.
