Visnea is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in family Pentaphylacaceae.[4] The genus contains a single species, Visnea mocanera a tree native to the Canary Islands and Madeira.[1]

The fruits of the tree (known as Mocan) are edible.[5][6]

The genus name of Visnea is in honour of Gérard de Visme (c. 1725 – c. 1797), a French and English merchant in Lisbon, Portugal.[7] The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus the Younger in 1782, and published in Suppl. Pl. on page 36.[1]

Note; Visnea Steud. ex Endl. is a synonym of Barbacenia, a genus in a different family.[8]

Fossil record

Four fossil seeds of a Visnea sp. have been described from middle Miocene strata of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark.[9]
