Sommera is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.[1]
Its native range is from Mexico to Peru. It is also found in northern Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panamá.[1]
The genus name of Sommera is in honour of Christian Niefeldt Sommer (1821–1878), a German entomologist, who supported the research of author of the genus, Diederich Friedrich Carl von Schlechtendal.[2] It was first described and published in Linnaea Vol.9 on page 602 in 1835.[1]
