Pera is a genus of the flowering plant family Euphorbiaceae, first described as a genus in 1784.[2][3] It is native to tropical America, from southern Mexico and the West Indies south as far as Paraguay.[1][4]
Pera differs from other Euphorbiaceae in several characteristics and some classifications place it in its own family, Peraceae,[5] rather than include Rafflesiaceae into the Euphorbiaceae.
