Neobracea

Neobracea is a genus of plant in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1905. It was first given the name Bracea, but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym. In other words, somebody else had already used it for another plant. Neobracea is native to Cuba and the Bahamas.[1][2]
