Nectouxia bella Miers Nectouxia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae.

Its native range is found in Texas, USA and Mexico.

[2] The genus name of Nectouxia is in honour of Hippolyte Nectoux (1759–1836), a French botanist, botanical garden director in Santo Domingo.

[3] The Latin specific epithet of formosa is derived from formosus meaning (well-)formed and/or beautiful.

[4] Both the genus and species were first described and published in F.W.H.von Humboldt, A.J.A.Bonpland & C.S.Kunth, Nov. Gen. Sp.
