Mcvaughia

Mcvaughia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It is native to Mexico. The genus was established in 1987 by William Wayt Thomas and was named in honor of Rogers McVaugh, a prominent botanist specializing in the flora of Mexico.

The species within Mcvaughia are typically shrubs or small trees found in tropical and subtropical regions. They are characterized by their specific morphological features, including leaf arrangement, flower structure, and fruit characteristics, which distinguish them from other genera within the Rubiaceae family.

Further research is often required to fully understand the distribution, ecology, and conservation status of individual Mcvaughia species. Botanical surveys and taxonomic revisions continue to contribute to our understanding of this genus and its relationship to other members of the Rubiaceae.
