  Duroia is one of the dioecious genera of the tribe Gardenieae. Some of the species are still known only from staminate collections. Doubtless, many more species remain to be discovered. The present treatment is based on material studied from the herbaria of the Chicago Natural History Museum, New York Botanical Garden, United States National Museum, Instituto Botanico of Caracas, and Jardim Botanico de Rio Janeiro.
