Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae.[1] It includes seven species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Mexico through Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and northern South America to northern Argentina.[2] It is sometimes placed in the families Gratiolaceae, Plantaginaceae, or Veronicaceae.[3] The name is derived from the Latin word caprarius, meaning "pertaining to goats." This refers to goats being one of the few herbivores that will graze on the plants.[4]
