Jouvea is a Latin American genus of coastal plants in the grass family. It grows on mud flats and coastal sand dunes from northern Mexico to Ecuador. [2] [4] [5] [6]

Jouvea's closest relative in the subfamily Chloridoideae is likely Monanthochloe; both share the characteristic of distichously arranged leaves, and both are dioecious. [2]

Jouvea was named for the French botanist Joseph Duval-Jouve (1810–1883) [7]
