Sarcopteryx is a genus of about 12 rainforest tree species known to science, of the plant family Sapindaceae.[1][2][3][4] They occur in Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas.[2][3][5][6][7]
They have hairy leaves and twigs, polygamous flowers and bird attracting brightly coloured, capsule fruits.[5]
The generic name Sarcopteryx translates to "fleshy wing", as the fruit can be angled, thick or wing shaped. The Greek sarco means fleshy, and pteron is "a wing".[8]
