Exbucklandia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae.[1] They are medium to large trees whose natural range is from eastern India through southern China and southward through the Malay Peninsula.[2] In India and China, they are widely cultivated for their impressive foliage and valuable lumber.[3] A few have been grown in the southernmost parts of the United States.[4] To speakers of English, Exbucklandia is generally known as the Pipli tree, from the Bengali name for the species Exbucklandia populnea.
