Neopringlea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Salicaceae.[1]
It is native to Mexico and Guatemala.[1]
The genus name of Neopringlea is in honour of Cyrus Pringle (1838–1911), an American botanist who spent a career of 35 years cataloguing the plants of North America. He was also a prolific collector and accomplished botanical explorer.[2] It was first described and published in Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts vol.26 on page 134 in 1891.[1]
