7; see text Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae.

[3] It includes seven species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Mexico through Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and northern South America to northern Argentina.

[2] It is sometimes placed in the families Gratiolaceae, Plantaginaceae, or Veronicaceae.

[1] The name is derived from the Latin word caprarius, meaning "pertaining to goats."

This refers to goats being one of the few herbivores that will graze on the plants.
