Antiaris Lesch. 1810
plant genus in the moraceae family
Antiaris is a genus in the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is a monotypic genus, i.e. it contains only one species, namely Antiaris toxicaria. The genus was at one time considered to consist of several species, but is now regarded as just one variable species which can be further divided into five subspecies.

Antiaris has a remarkably wide distribution in tropical regions, occurring in Australia, tropical Asia, tropical Africa, Indonesia, the Philippines, Tonga,
