Nothosaerva is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae containing the single species Nothosaerva brachiata. It is native to India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, and eastern Africa. [3]
This species was first described in 1852 with the name Pseudanthus. [2] [4] This turned out to be an illegitimate homonym, so it was renamed Nothosaerva in 1853. [1] [5] [6]
