Neeopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae.[1] The only species is Neeopsis flavifolia.[2]
The genus name of Neeopsis is in honour of Luis Née (1734–1807), a French-born Spanish botanist and prolific collector of plant specimens who accompanied the Malaspina Expedition on its five-year scientific exploration of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding lands.[3] The Latin specific epithet of flavifolia is a portmanteau word, with 'flavi-' from flavesco meaning light yellow and also '-folia' which refers to foliage.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Wrightia Vol.5 on pages 241-242 in 1976.[2]
