Balanops is a group of flowering plants described as a genus in 1871.[3][4] The species are trees or shrubs, found in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, and northern Queensland.[2][5]
The genus by itself constitutes the family Balanopaceae (formerly the spelling Balanopsidaceae was also used). The genus is relatively poorly known, and was sometimes assigned its own order (called Balanopales or Balanopsidales), as in the Engler system.
