Pterospermum is a flowering plant genus. Traditionally included in the family Sterculiaceae, it is included in the expanded Malvaceae in the APG and most subsequent systematics. Pterospermum is based on two Greek words, "Pteron" and "Sperma," meaning "winged seed."
Some species are grown ornamentally while others are valued for their timber.
To date, only 10 species names within the genus have been resolved[1] in the Plant List.
