Heterosavia is a genus of the family of Phyllanthaceae first described as a genus in 2008.[2][1] It is native to the Caribbean and southern Florida. It is found in Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Florida, Haiti, Jamaica, southwest Caribbean and Turks-Caicos Islands.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Ignaz Urban and Petra Hoffmann in Brittonia vol.60 on page 152 in 2008.[3]
The genus name of Heterosavia is in honour of Gaetano Savi (1769–1844), who was an Italian naturalist, botanist and mycologist.[4]
