Niemeyera is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1870.[2][3] The entire genus is endemic to Australia (States of Queensland and New South Wales).[4] Its closest relative is Pycnandra from New Caledonia.[5]
now in other genera: Amorphospermum Chrysophyllum Pycnandra
In 1867, Muller used the name Niemeyera to refer to a very different plant, now placed in the Orchidaceae. This name, although older than the 1870 name in the Sapotaceae, is now considered a rejected name. Hence:
