Aporosa is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1825.[4] It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, and Queensland.[1][5][6][7]

These plants are mostly dioecious trees or shrubs.[8] Four species (, , , and ) have consistently bisexual flowers, although they may be functionally dioecious.[9] The seeds have brightly colored arils that are attractive to birds, which disperse the seeds.[3]

There are about 80 species.[3]
