Bhesa is a small genus of woody plants in the family Centroplacaceae. Its natural distribution is from southern China to New Guinea. It was formerly classified in Celastraceae, until a molecular phylogenetic study placed it in the family Centroplacaceae in the order Malpighiales.[1]

There are eight species:[2]

* Bhesa andamanica N.Balach. & Chakrab.
* Bhesa archboldiana (Merr. & L.M.Perry) Ding Hou
