Lagrezia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae.[1]
Its native range is southern Mexico and the western Indian Ocean. It is found in Aldabra, the Chagos Archipelago, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mexico and the Seychelles.[1]
The genus name of Lagrezia is in honour of Adrien Rose Arnaud Lagrèze-Fossat (1814 or 1818 – 1874), French botanist and lawyer in Moissac.[2] It was first described and published in A.P.de Candolle, Prodr. Vol.13 (Issue 2) on page 252 in 1849.[1]
