Ungnadia speciosa, the Mexican buckeye, is a shrub or small tree native to northern Mexico as well as Texas and southern New Mexico in the United States.[2] It is monotypic, the only species in the genus Ungnadia. The name honours David Baron von Ungnad (d. 1600), who first brought the horse chestnut to Vienna.[3][4]
It differs from the buckeyes in the related genus Aesculus in having alternate, pinnate leaves with 5-7 leaflets, but the flowers and nuts are similar. Another similar related genus is the soapberry (genus Sapindus).
