Miquelia is a genus of plants in the family Icacinaceae found in tropical India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Carl Meissner in Pl. Vasc. Gen. vol.1 on page 152 in 1838.[1] The name Miquelia is in honour of Dutch botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel (1811–1871), whose main focus of study was the flora of the Dutch East Indies.[3]
