Poilanedora is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Capparaceae. The only species is Poilanedora unijuga.[1]

It is native to Vietnam.[1]

The genus name of Poilanedora is in honour of Eugène Poilane (1888–1964), a French plant collector at the botanical institute in present-day Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He also worked in the forest service.[2] The Latin specific epithet of unijuga is a portmanteaux word made up of 'uni-' from unis meaning one and also jugo or jugalis (pertaining to a yoke; matrimonial).[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bull. Soc. Bot. France Vol.95 on page 27 in 1948.[1]
