Myriocarpa
''Myriocarpa'' is a genus woody plant which ranges in size from shrubs to small trees and is Endemism, endemic to Central America, Central and South America. Within the Urticaceae, ''Myriocarpa'' is characterized by long pendulous string-like female inflorescences of apparently naked flowers and stems which release a watery latex when cut. Estimates for the diversity of the genus range from five to eighteen species.Burger, W. 1977. Myriocarpa, Flora Costaricensis. Fieldiana, Botany 40: 237-240.Friis, I. 1989.
