Huberantha is a genus of plants in the family Annonaceae and tribe Miliuseae. It is distributed in Australia, tropical Asia, East Africa and some Pacific islands. Tanawat Chaowasku named the genus "Huber's flowers" in honor of the German botanist Herbert Huber and to highlight its flowers as a distinguishing feature of the genus. A number of species have been moved here from the genus Polyalthia.
Description The leaf veins of Huberantha form an interconnected net-like pattern. Their flowers are axillary. They have a single ovule and seed per ovary. A portion of their ovules remain fused to the seed coat forming a flat raphe. Their seed coats form spine-like intrusions into their endosperm. A layer of the outer pollen wall, called the infratectum, has a granular appearance.
