Andrachne is a genus of flowering plants in the family Phyllanthaceae described by Linnaeus in 1753.[3][4] It is one of eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae.[5]
They are monoecious herbs or subshrubs, native to semideserts and desert margins of the Americas, southern Europe, North Africa, and South Asia.[2][5] Linnaeus took the name from Theophrastus, but it is not clear to which plant Theophrastus applied the name.[6][7]
