Species are distributed throughout the Old World tropics.[2] This large genus had about 150 species,[2] but recent molecular analyses have revealed that several smaller genera belong within Uvaria, increasing its size.[3]
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.[2]
