Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae.[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.[3]
