Perryodendron is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rutaceae. The only known species is Perryodendron parviflorum.[2]

The species is found in New Guinea.[2]

The genus name of Perryodendron is in honour of Lily May Perry (1895–1992), a Canadian-American botanist who worked at Arnold Arboretum and is most known for detailed compilation of information on medicinal plants of East and Southeast Asia.[3] The Latin specific epithet of parviflorum is a compound, parv- meaning little and '-florum' meaning flower.[4] It was first described and published in Adansonia, sér.3, Vol.19 on page 198 in 1997.[2]
