Scottmoria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lecythidaceae. It includes 26 species native tropical Central and South America, ranging from Honduras to Colombia, Venezuela, northern Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.[1]

The genus was described in 2024 by Xavier Cornejo, who named it in honor of American botanist Scott Alan Mori (1941–2020), an authority in the neotropical Lecythidaceae.[2] The species in Scottmoria constitute the former Integrifolia clade of genus Eschweilera. Vargas et al. published a phylogenetic study in 2024 which concluded that Eschweilera was polyphyletic, and the authors proposed new or revived genera, including Scottmoria, for species in the paraphyletic sections of Eschweilera.[3]

Species

26 species are accepted.[1]
