Species
The genus Persea is treated in three subgeneraCH. The Asian subgenus Machilus is treated in a separate genus Machilus by many authors, including in the Flora of China, while graft-incompatibility between subgenus Persea and subgenus Eriodaphne suggests that these too may be better treated as distinct genera, in fact Kostermans (1993) founded the genus Mutisiopersea for theseCH. Another closely related genus Beilschmiedia is also sometimes included in PerseaCH.
