Menodora Bonpland. Common name: Menodora.
A genus of about 15 species, perennial herbs and weak shrubs both our species suffruticose), of tropical and subtropical America. Menodora is closely related to Jasminum, the generic circumscriptions still being worked out, but Banfi (2014) argues for maintaining Menodora at genus rank, in part by recognizing monophyletic segregates in Old World Jasminum (in the broad sense).
