Dipteronia

''Dipteronia'' is a genus of two living and one extinct species, regarded in the soapberry family Sapindaceae ''sensu lato'' after Angiosperm Phylogeny Group and more recently )or traditionally by several authors in Aceraceae, related to the maples.

They are deciduous flowering shrubs or small trees, reaching 10-15 m tall.
The leaf arrangement is opposite and pinnate. The inflorescences are paniculate, terminal or axillary. The flowers have five sepals and petals; staminate flowers have eight stamens, and bisexual flowers have a two-celled ovary. The fruit is a rounded containing two compressed nutlets, flat, encircled by a broad wing which turns from light green to red with ripening.

There are only two living species, ''Dipteronia sinensis'' and ''Dipteronia dyeriana''; both are endemic to mainland China. ''Dipteronia dyeriana'' is listed by the as being a "Red List" threatened species. ''Dipteronia browni'' is an extinct species from the early Eocene Klondike Mountain Formation of Washington.

The name ''Dipteronia'' stems from the Greek "di-" & "pteron" , from the winged fruits with wings on both sides of the seed.
