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 Germany naturalist Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1776 - 1858).[3] The Takhtajan system places the genus in the subfamily Rutoideae, tribe Cusparieae,[7] while Germplasm Resources Information Network places it in the subfamily Toddalioideae, tribe Cusparieae.[1]
