Alchornea

Alchornea is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1788.[3][4] It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, S Asia, Australia, Latin America, and various oceanic islands.[2] Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that Bocquillonia from New Caledonia is nested in Alchornea.[5]
