BraceaBritton 1905, illegitimate homonym, not King 1895

Neobracea is a genus of plant in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1905. It was first given the name Bracea, but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym. In other words, somebody else had already used it for another plant. Neobracea is native to Cuba and the Bahamas. [1] [2]

Apocynaceae family of plants

Apocynaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison. Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here.

In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon.
