Melinia is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1835. It was initially given the name Brachylepis, but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym, meaning that someone else had already used the name for a different plant.[2][3][1] Melinia is native to South America.[4][5]
