Sersalisia is a genus of trees in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1810.[3][2]
Past circumscriptions of the genus have included more species, several of which have now been transferred to other genera.[4][5] Recent phylogenetic and morphological studies support 5-7 species native to Australia, New Guinea, and Malesia.[6][7] Plants of the World Online currently accepts five species.[8]
