Nouhuysia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Clusiaceae. It includes three species endemic to New Guinea.[1]
- Nouhuysia elaeocarpoides (Gilg & Schltr.) Steenis & Hatus.
- Nouhuysia novoguineensis (Gibbs) Steenis & Hatus.
- Nouhuysia pachyphylla (Gilg & Schltr.) Steenis & Hatus.
The genus was described by Carl Adolf Georg Lauterbach in 1912, and named after Jan Willem van Nouhuys (1869–1963), a Dutch naval officer and seafarer and director at two museums in Rotterdam who collected plants in New Guinea.[2]
