Chiococca is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae.[3] It comprises 24 currently recognized species.[4] They are native to Florida, Texas, Mexico, Central America, much of South America, the West Indies, and the Galápagos.[5][6]
The type species for the genus is Chiococca alba.[7] It ranges from Florida to Paraguay and is cultivated as an ornamental.[8]
Chiococca was named by Patrick Browne in 1756.[9][10] The generic name is derived from the Greek words[11] χιών (chion), meaning "snow" and κόκκος (kokkos), meaning "kernel" or "berry."[12][13]
Chiococca is a member of the tribe Chiococceae.[14] Within the tribe, it is closely related to Bikkia.[15]
