Adelia is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, subfamily Acalyphoideae.^[1] It is native to Latin America and the West Indies, with one species extending northward into the southernmost part of Texas.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}

The name is derived from the Greek words α (a), meaning "not", and δήλος (delos), meaning "visible." It refers to the difficulties Linnaeus experienced interpreting the genus.^[8]
