'''''Coccoloba''''' [[Antoine Laurent de Jussieu|Juss.]] 1789, is a [[genus]] of plants in the [[family]] [[Polygonaceae]]. There is no common name in English for this genus, although many of the individual species have widely used common names. One species, the Seagrape (''[[Coccoloba uvifera]]'') is commonly cultivated, and the genus name is sometimes used to denote this species.
Many ''Coccoloba'' species are found in the [[Caribbean]] and [[Central America]], with their ranges extending into [[Florida]].
The genus includes several mycorrhizal species; for example, ''C. uvifera'' is apparently associated with at least the following macrofungal families Amanitaceae, Russulaceae, and Boletaceae.
== Selected species ==
*[[Uvilla]], ''Coccoloba costata''
*[[Tietongue]], ''[[Coccoloba diversifolia]]''
*[[Whitewood Seagrape]], ''Coccoloba krugii''
*[[Puckhout]], ''Coccoloba microstachya''
*[[Pale Seagrape]], ''Coccoloba pallida''
*[[Grandleaf Seagrape]], ''Coccoloba pubescens''
