Alchornea is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1788.[1][2] It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, South Asia, Australia, Latin America, and various oceanic islands.[3] Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that Bocquillonia from New Caledonia is nested in Alchornea.[4]
