''Uvaria'' is a genus of flowering plants in the soursop family, Annonaceae. The generic name ''uvaria'' is derived from the Latin ''uva'' meaning grape, likely because the edible fruit of some species in the genus resemble grapes. Species are distributed throughout the Old World tropics.〔(''Uvaria''. ) Flora of China.〕 This large genus had about 150 species,〔 but recent molecular analyses have revealed that several smaller genera belong within ''Uvaria'', increasing its size.〔LinLin, Z., Su, Y. C. F., & Saunders, R. M. K. (2009). (Molecular phylogenetic support for a broader delimitation of ''Uvaria'' (Annonaceae), inclusive of ''Anomianthus'', ''Cyathostemma'', ''Ellipeia'', ''Ellipeiopsis'' and ''Rauwenhoffia''. ) ''Systematics and Biodiversity'', 7(3), 249-258.〕 These are climbing shrubs or small trees. The flowers are borne singly, in pairs, or in small clusters. There are six petals in two whorls and many stamens.〔 ==Selected species== * ''Uvaria calamistrata'' Hance * ''Uvaria chamae'' P.Beauv. – Finger-root * ''Uvaria grandiflora'' (Lesch. ex DC.)
