Munronia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Meliaceae.[2][3] Its native distribution is tropical and subtropical Asia.[1]

The name Munronia is a taxonomic patronym honoring the English botanist William Munro (1818 - 1880), a plant collector in India, Kashmir, and Barbados.[4] A taxonomic anagram derived from Munronia is Nurmonia, a confamilial genus synonym of Turraea.[5]
