Hieronyma is a genus in the plant family Phyllanthaceae. It was first described as a genus in 1848. [1] [3] This family was formerly united with spurges, crotons, copperleaves, etc. ( Euphorbiaceae), but have turned out to be well distinct. The genus is native to South America, Central America, southern Mexico, and the West Indies. [2] It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. [4]
The spelling Hieronyma has been conserved; the spellings Hieronima and Hyeronima are spelling variants of this name.
Hieronyma is used locally as a foodplant,[ verification needed] e.g. by the Nukak of Guaviare Department in the Amazon natural region of Colombia. Several species are threatened by deforestation.
