Euceraea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae.[2] The genus is native to north South America throughout the North Region of Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.[2][3][4][5]
Previously it was treated in the family Flacourtiaceae[6] but was moved along with its close relatives to the Salicaceae based on analyses of DNA data.[7] Euceraea is closely related to the genera Casearia and Neoptychocarpus, but differs in its inflorescences of composite spikes.[8] One species, Euceraea rheophytica, is a rheophyte.[9]
In 2022, Euceraea became a synonym of the genus Casearia, though many sources still consider the genus separate.[10]
