Emmenosperma
Emmenosperma is a small genus of mostly tropical trees in the family Rhamnaceae.[1] The name comes from the Greek "emmeno" meaning (I cleave) and "sperma", (seed). It refers to the seeds remaining after the fruit valves have fallen away.[2] It is related to Jaffrea,[3] endemic to New Caledonia.
