Sagraea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Melastomataceae. It is now listed as a synonym of Miconia Ruiz & Pav.[1]
Its native range is the Caribbean.[1]
The genus name of Sagraea was in honour of Ramón de la Sagra (1798–1871), a Spanish anarchist, politician, writer, and botanist who founded the world's first anarchist journal, El Porvenir (which is Spanish for "The Future").[2] It was first described and published in Prodr. Vol.3 on page 170 in 1828.[1]
