Burretiodendron is a genus of trees. Traditionally included in the family Tiliaceae, it is included in the expanded Malvaceae in the APG and most subsequent systematics. It contains some species formerly in the (not too closely related) genus Pentace. Thus, Parapentace Gagnep. may be a synonym of Burretiodendron rather than Pentace.{{aut|Hinsley, Stewart R.}} (2007): [http://www.malvaceae.info/Synonymy/Supra.php?order=Rank&citation=off Synonymy of Malvaceae].
