Quick Facts Bushweeds, Scientific classification ...

The genus is named after John Fluegge, a German cryptogamic botanist.

Members of this genus all have entire ovate leaves and minute green flowers that form at the leaf axils in the form of fascicles or cymes. The fruits are berries, of the size of peas.[8] With the exception of F. verrucosa, F. spirei, and occasionally F. virosa, they are dioecious.[11]
