Sannantha is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae that are native to Australia and New Caledonia. Plants in the genus Sannantha are shrubs or trees with leaves arranged in opposite pairs, flowers usually arranged in small groups, the peduncles often 1.5–2 times as long as the pedicels and with seven to fourteen stamens. The fruit is a thin-walled capsule containing flattened, D-shaped seeds. Some species of Sannantha were previously included in the genus Babingtonia.[1]
The genus Sannantha was first formally described in 2007 by Peter Gordon Wilson in Australian Systematic Botany and the first species he described (the type species) was Sannantha virgata.[2]
