Oreomunnea is a genus of four species of flowering plants in the family Juglandaceae. Species are native to southern Mexico, Central America, and Colombia, where they occur in montane rainforest.[2][3]
They are large trees growing to 35 m tall, with pinnate leaves with four to eight leaflets; unlike most genera in the Juglandaceae, the leaves are arranged in opposite pairs. The fruit is a small nut about 1 cm diameter, with a three-lobed wing.[4][5]
