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

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]
