Neonauclea

Neonauclea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It comprises about 65 species.[1] Three of these were described as recently as 2008.[2] Neonauclea is a genus of shrubs and trees They are indigenous to China, India, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia.[3] Neonauclea tsaiana has some limited use as lumber.[3]

Neonauclea was named in 1915 by Elmer Drew Merrill.[4][5] The generic name is derived from the related genus Nauclea and the Greek word neos, meaning "new".[6]

The biological type for Neonauclea consists of those specimens that Merrill called Neonauclea obtusa.[7] These are now included in Neonauclea excelsa.[8]

The circumscription of Neonauclea is uncertain. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that some related genera are probably embedded in it.[9]

gollark: They can't kill me because that would be mean.
gollark: Anyway, we hit *those* limits ages ago, so we achieve our high clocks by extending the processors out into arbitrarily many orthogonal dimensions, ignoring the "speed of light", and patterning the logic gates directly onto underlying physical laws.

gollark: Clock speeds are constrained mostly by CMOS processes as far as I know, lightspeed issues are secondary.
gollark: What? Superconducting logic circuits can easily hit tens of GHz.
