***Prainea*** is a genus of [trees](/source/Tree) in the plant family [Moraceae](/source/Moraceae).[1] It is sometimes treated as a subgenus of [Artocarpus](/source/Artocarpus).[3] In fact, in [Plants of the World Online](/source/Plants_of_the_World_Online), two species, native to Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, the Maluku Islands, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, that were classified in genus *Prainea*in [Plants of the World Online](/source/Plants_of_the_World_Online) are transferred to [Artocarpus](/source/Artocarpus).[4] They are classified in subgenus *Prainea* (King) Zerega which is distinct from other *Artocarpus* subgenera mainly due to its dioecious nature.
