Tournonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Basellaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Tournonia hookeriana Moq.[1]
It is native to Colombia and Ecuador in western South America.[1]
The genus name of Tournonia is in honour of Dominique Jérôme Tournon (1758–1829), a French doctor and botanist, botanical garden director in Toulouse.[2] The Latin specific epithet of hookeriana refers to the British botanist and explorer Sir Joseph D. Hooker.[3][4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in A.P.de Candolle, Prodr. Vol.13 (Issue 2) on page 225 in 1849.[1]
