Guettarda is a plant genus in the family Rubiaceae. Most of these plants are known by the common name Velvetseed. Estimates of the number of species range from about 50 [1] to 162.[2] Most of the species are neotropical.[3] Twenty are found in New Caledonia and one reaches Australia.[4] A few others are found on islands and in coastal areas of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Three species (G. odorata, G. scabra, G. speciosa) are known in cultivation.[1]Guettarda argentea provides edible fruit.[3] The type species for the genus is Guettarda speciosa.[5] It is a tree of coastal habitats, up to 18 m (59 ft) in height. It is grown as an ornamental.
Guettarda was named by Linnaeus in 1753 in his book Species Plantarum.[6][7] This generic name is in honour of the 18th century French naturalist Jean-Étienne Guettard.[8]
The genus Guettarda is much in need of revision. Molecular phylogenetic studies have found it to be several times polyphyletic with some of its clades paraphyletic over small genera.[9]
