Genus of flowering plants
Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae. It includes seven species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Mexico through Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and northern South America to northern Argentina. It is sometimes placed in the families Gratiolaceae, Plantaginaceae, or Veronicaceae. The name is derived from the Latin word "caprarius", meaning "pertaining to goats." This refers to goats being one of the few herbivores that will graze on the plants.
