Aporosa is a genus of mostly dioecious trees and shrubs in the Phyllanthaceae family, native to China, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Papuasia and Queensland. Care varies by species, so check the specific plant you have.
Aporosa is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1825. It is native to China, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, and Queensland.
When the genus was erected by Carl Ludwig Blume in 1825, he used the spelling Aporosa but in a publication the next year he used the spelling Aporusa and some publications and Herbert Airy Shaw in 1966 argued that the second spelling was preferred due to common usage. However, the original spelling has been preferred according to the botanical code.
