'''''Greyia''''' is a genus of [[plant]] in family [[Melianthaceae]]. 
 +
 +
Unlike other members of the [[Melianthaceae]], ''Greyia'' has simple (undivided) [[leaf|leaves]], flowers with ten [[stamen]]s, and [[ovary (plants)|ovaries]] with parietal [[placentation]].<ref>{{cite book | author=Heywood, V. H. (ed.) | year = 1993 | title=Flowering Plants of the World | edition=2nd ed. | location=New York | publisher=Oxford University Press | pages=191–192 }}</ref>  Because of this, the genus has sometimes been placed in a separate family '''Greyiaceae''', but under the [[APG II system]] of classification, it is included in the Melianthaceae.
