Casasia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae.Richard, Achille. 1850. Historia Física Política y Natural de la Isla de Cuba, Botánica 11: 9, pl. 49. These shrubs or small trees occur on the Caribbean islands and in one case (Seven-year Apple, C. clusiifolia) in Florida. Some of the ten accepted species were formerly placed elsewhere, e.g. in the related genip-tree genus (Genipa), in Gardenia or in Randia.
