Hura is a genus of trees in the family Euphorbiaceae described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. [1] [2] It is native to South America, Mesoamerica, and the West Indies. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
In 1783, Johann Gerhard König used the name Hura to refer to a very different plant from the one Linnaeus had named. Thus was created an illegitimate homonym. [8] [9] Under the rules of nomenclature, Koenig's name had to be abandoned. The two names created using his genus are now in the genus Globba , as follows:
Sebastiania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Euphorbiaceae first described in 1821. It is native to North and South America from Arizona and the West Indies south to Uruguay.
