'''''Quassia''''' is a [[genus]] in the [[family]] [[Simaroubaceae]]. Its size is disputed; some [[botanist]]s treat it as consisting of only one [[species]], ''[[Quassia amara]]'' from [tropical] [[South America]], while others treat it in a wide circumscription as a [[pantropical]] [[genus]] containing up to 40 species of [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s.
Broader treatments of the genus include the following and other species:
*''[[Quassia africana]]''
*''[[Quassia amara]]''
*''[[Quassia bidwillii]]''
*''[[Quassia indica]]''
*''[[Quassia undulata]]''
