Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Guettarda is a plant genus in the family Rubiaceae. Most of these plants are known by the common name velvetseed.
Distribution
Most of the species are Neotropical.[1] Twenty are found in New Caledonia and one reaches Australia.[2] A few others are found on islands and in coastal areas of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is a tree of coastal habitats, up to Script error: No such module "convert". in height.
Taxonomy
Three species (G. odorata, G. scabra, G. speciosa) are known in cultivation.[3] Guettarda argentea provides edible fruit.[1] The type species for the genus is Guettarda speciosa.[4]
Guettarda was named by Linnaeus in 1753 in his book Species Plantarum.[5][6] This generic name is in honour of the 18th century French naturalist Jean-Étienne Guettard.[7]
The genus Guettarda is much in need of revision. Molecular phylogenetic studies have found it to be several times polyphyletic with some of its clades paraphyletic over small genera.[8]
Species
Plants of the World Online currently accepts 145 species, which are listed below.[9] Other estimates of the number of species range from about 50[3] to 162.[10]
