Moriera is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. [1] It only contains one known species, Moriera spinosa Boiss. [2]
Its native range is Central Asia and it is found in the countries of Afghanistan, Iran and Turkmenistan. [2]
The genus name of Moriera is in honour of James Justinian Morier (c. 1780 – 1849), a British diplomat and author noted for his novels about the Qajar dynasty in Iran, most famously for the Hajji Baba series. [3] The Latin specific epithet of spinosa is derived from spina meaning spiny. [4] The genus was first described and published in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., série 2 Vol.16 on page 380 in 1841, [1] and then the species, Moriera spinosa was first described and published in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., sér.2, vol.17 on page 182 in 1842. [2]
