Neonauclea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It comprises about 65 species. [1] Three of these were described as recently as 2008. [2] Neonauclea is a genus of shrubs and trees They are indigenous to China, India, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia. [3] Neonauclea tsaiana has some limited use as lumber. [3]
Neonauclea was named in 1915 by Elmer Drew Merrill. [4] [5] The generic name is derived from the related genus Nauclea and the Greek word neos, meaning "new". [6]
The biological type for Neonauclea consists of those specimens that Merrill called Neonauclea obtusa. [7] These are now included in Neonauclea excelsa. [8]
The circumscription of Neonauclea is uncertain. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that some related genera are probably embedded in it. [9]
