Biology:Mourera
From HandWiki
Mourera is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Podostemaceae.[1]
Its native range is tropical South America, from Venezuela and the Guianas through Brazil to Bolivia, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.[1]
It appears to be most closely related to the cosmopolitan Tristicha. The common ancestor of both appears to have dispersed across the Antarctic land bridge during the mid-Cretaceous.[2]
