Jagera is a genus of plants in the lychee and maple family, Sapindaceae. It is native to the Moluccas, New Guinea, and the Australian states of Queensland and New South Wales.[2][4] The genus is named after Herbert de Jager, a collector for botanist Georg Eberhard Rumphius.[5][6]
Description
Plants in this genus are trees or shrubs, with divided (paripinnate) leaves. The leaves are whorled or opposite and the leaflets have serrated edges. The small flowers have five petals and sepals and are born on axillary inflorescences. The fruit are three- or four-celled capsules with stiff rusty coloured hairs on the surface.[5][7]
Taxonomy
The genus was erected by German-Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume in 1847 to accommodate his newly-described species Jagera speciosa.[8] That taxon was not validly published and is now a synonym of J. javanica.[9]
Accepted species
Three species are accepted as of April 2026:[2]
- Jagera javanica (Blume) Blume ex Kalkman
- Jagera madida P.I.Forst.
- Jagera pseudorhus (A.Rich.) Radlk
