Rinconia

Rinconia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae. Species within Rinconia are native to Central and South America, primarily found in tropical regions. They are typically shrubs or small trees, characterized by their opposite leaves and small, often white or cream-colored, flowers.

The genus Rinconia is of botanical interest for its contribution to the biodiversity of Neotropical ecosystems. Further research is continually being conducted to better understand the phylogenetic relationships within the genus and its ecological role. Taxonomically, the delimitation of species within Rinconia can be challenging due to morphological similarities and the potential for hybridization.
