Description: Gayella splendens (A. DC.) Aubr., the sole member of this genus, is a tall shrub, endemic to Chile. Baehni and Eyma place G. splendens in Pouteria but Aubréville recognizes Gayella as distinct. Anatomically, the alliance of Gayella is not with Pouteria but with Pradosia and particularly with lactescens and ptychandra.
