Bernoullia is a genus of tropical trees in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It was established by English botanist Daniel Oliver in 1873. There are three accepted species, which occur from Mexico to Colombia.[2]

Bernoullia flammea
Bernoullia jaliscana
Bernoullia uribeana

Nuclear DNA studies suggest that Bernoullia and the genera Gyranthera and Huberodendron form a sister clade to a core Bombacoideae clade.[3] Members of this genus have indehiscent fruits — that is, they do not split open when ripe to release their seeds. The staminal filaments of the flowers are fused into a tube, with the unstalked anthers located near the tube's apex. The pollen is somewhat triangular in shape, with furrows and/or pores on the surface.[3]
