Ryania is a genus of plants in the family Salicaceae;[1] it was previously listed in the now defunct family Flacourtiaceae.
The genus is significant partly because the ryanoid insecticides are derived from – and have the same mode of action as – the alkaloid ryanodine: which was originally extracted from Ryania speciosa.
The Catalogue of Life[1] includes the following species:
- Ryania angustifolia
- Ryania canescens
- Ryania dentata
- Ryania mansoana
- Ryania pyrifera
- Ryania riedeliana
- Ryania sauricida
- Ryania speciosa
- Ryania spruceana
