Calantica is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae.^[1] It contains 10 species of shrubs and trees endemic to Madagascar, seven of which are threatened. Calantica is closely related to the pantropical and diverse genus Homalium, from which it differs in having a superior ovary, instead of a semi-inferior ovary.^[2] The genus is also similar to Bivinia in its superior ovary but has numerous stamens and long spiciform inflorescences.
