Biology:Mappia
From HandWiki
Mappia is a genus of shrubs in the family Icacinaceae. There are eleven species (including Nothapodytes Blume) occurring in Central America, the West Indies and Asia.[1] The type species for the genus is Mappia racemosa Jacquin. Some research has been shown that it has an effective anti cancer property against breast cancer [1].
Leretia cordata has been included in Mappia by some authors. The name "Mappia" has been used for Cunila and for Doliocarpus guianensis (synonym: Soramia guianensis). Both of these uses of the name "Mappia" are nomina rejecta.
