Mitrephora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Annonaceae, that are native to an area that extends from China in the north to Queensland. Plants in the genus Mitrephora are also found in southern India (Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and Southeast Asia.

Description

Taxonomy

The genus Mitrephora was first formally described in 1830 by Carl Ludwig Blume who gave it the name Uvaria sect. Mitrephorae in his Flora Javae nec non insularum adjacentium.[2][3] In 1855, Joseph Dalton Hooker and Thomas Thomson raised the genus Mitrephora in their book Flora Indica.[4][5] The genus name (Mitrephora) is from Greek mitra a "head dress" and phoretos meaning to "bear" or "wear", referring to the inner petals.[6]
