"Hoheria" is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. All are endemic to New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands. The genus name is a Latinization of the Māori language name, "Houhere". That name, as well as Lacebark and Ribbonwood, are sometimes used as common names.

"Hoheria" are evergreen large shrubs or small trees growing to 6 to 10 m tall, bearing large quantities of 5-petalled, white flowers in summer or autumn and therefore are of interest to horticulturalists.

The leaves are serrate to dentate, ovate to lanceolate. The flowers are borne in axils on jointed peduncles and produce a hard, dry seed capsule. Juvenile and adult specimens differ in their foliage and habit.
