Xylosma/zaɪˈlɒzmə/[3] is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae.[2] It contains around 100 species of evergreen shrubs and trees[4] commonly known as brushhollies, xylosmas, or, more ambiguously, "logwoods". The generic name is derived from the Greek words ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood, tree", and ὀσμή (osmé), meaning "smell",[5] referring to the fragrant wood of some of the species.[4] The Takhtajan system places it in the family Flacourtiaceae,[6] which is considered defunct by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.[2]
