''Codia'' is a genus of flowering plants, in the botanical family Cunoniaceae which includes several species of evergreen trees and shrubs. The genus has 17 species native to New Caledonia and Australia in the Pacific. It is a genus of small and large trees and shrubs of the Antarctic flora, in coastal eastern Australia (''Codia montana''). The leaves are opposite, and either simple or pinnate with 3–13 leaflets. The flowers are produced in late summer or autumn, are showy and sweetly scented, 3–6 cm diameter, with four creamy-white petals, and numerous stamens and styles. The fruit is a woody capsule 1–1.5 cm long containing several seeds, and maturing in 12–15 months. An extinct species of ''Codia'', ''C. australiensis'', has been found as a fossil in Australia, resembling the juvenile foliage of a living species in the genus. The extant ''Callicoma serratifolia'' also bears certain morphological similarities to ''Codia'' that may indicate a common ancestor. ==Selected species== *''Codia albicans'' Vieill. ex Pamp. *''Codia albifrons'' (Brongn. ex Schinz ex Guillaumin) Baker f. *''Codia belepensis'' H.C.Hopkins *''Codia cinerascens'' (Vieill. ex Pamp.)
