__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

'''''Terminalia''''' is a [[genus]] of large trees of the [[flowering plant]] family, [[Combretaceae]], comprising around 100 [[species]] distributed in [[Tropics|tropical region]]s of the world. This genus gets it name from [[Latin]] ''terminus'', referring to the fact that the leaves appear at the very tips of the shoots.

Trees of this genus are known especially as a source of secondary [[metabolite]]s, e.g. cyclic [[triterpene]]s and their derivatives, [[flavonoid]]s, [[tannin]]s, and other [[aromatic]]s. Some of these substances have [[antifungal]], [[antibacterial]], [[anti-cancer]] and [[hepatoprotective]] indications.

Terminalia (alluding to the leaves being borne upon the terminus of the shoot). Combretaceae. Only one species, T. Catappa, the Indian almond or tropical almond, is well known in American horticulture, but several others are important in the Orient, principally for their fruits, known as myrobalans, which are used in dyeing, tanning, and in medicine.
