'''''Punica''''' is a small genus of [[fruit]]-bearing [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] or small [[tree]]s. Its better-known species is the [[Pomegranate]] (''Punica granatum''). The only other species in the genus, the [[Punica protopunica|Socotra Pomegranate]] (''Punica protopunica''), is [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] on the island of [[Socotra]]. It differs in having pink (not red) flowers and smaller, less sweet fruit.

Although previously placed in its own family of '''Punicaceae''', recent phylogenetic studies have shown that ''Punica'' belongs in the family [[Lythraceae]], and it is classified in that family by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
