Neonauclea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It comprises about 71 species. Neonauclea is a genus of shrubs and trees They are indigenous to China, India, Southeast Asia, Wallacea, New Guinea and Australia.
Neonauclea was named in 1915 by Elmer Drew Merrill.Neonauclea in International Plant Names Index. (see External links below).Elmer Drew Merrill. 1915. Neonauclea page 538. In: "On the application of the generic name Nauclea of Linnaeus". Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences. 5:530-542. (see External links below). The generic name is derived from the related genus Nauclea and the Greek word neos, meaning "new".Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000. CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names, volume III. CRC Press: Baton Rouge, New York, London, Washington DC. (vol. III).
The biological type for Neonauclea consists of those specimens that Merrill called Neonauclea obtusa.Neonauclea In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see External links below). These are now included in Neonauclea excelsa.Colin E. Ridsdale. 1989. "A revision of Neonauclea (Rubiaceae)". Blumea 34(1):177-275.
The circumscription of Neonauclea is uncertain. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that some related genera are probably embedded in it.Ulrika Manns and Birgitta Bremer. 2010. "Towards a better understanding of intertribal relationships and stable tribal delimitations within Cinchonoideae s.s. (Rubiaceae)". Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 56(1):21-39.
