Esenbeckia is a genus of flowering plants in the rue family, Rutaceae.[1] All species in the genus are native to the Americas, with the highest diversity in South America.[3] They are commonly known as jopoy,[4] the Mayan word for E. berlandieri,[5][6] or gasparillo (Spanish).[4]
Taxonomy[edit]
The generic name commemorates German naturalist Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1776 - 1858).[3] The Takhtajan system placed the genus in the subfamily Rutoideae,[7] while Germplasm Resources Information Network placed it in the subfamily Toddalioideae.[1] A 2021 classification of the family Rutaceae places it in subfamily Zanthoxyloideae,[8] a placement accepted by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website.[9]
