Grias is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lecythidaceae, described by Linnaeus in 1759. It is native to northwestern South America, Central America, and Jamaica.
They are small to medium-sized trees, growing to 5–15 m (16–49 ft) tall. The leaves are evergreen, alternate, simple, broad lanceolate, very large, up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) long, with an entire or waved margin. The flowers are creamy white to yellow, with four petals; they are cauliflorous, produced in clusters on the trunk and stouter branches. The fruit is 6–15 cm (2.4–5.9 in) long, with a fleshy coat; it is edible in several species.
