Nicandra is a genus of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to western South America.[1] It was first described by Michel Adanson in 1763.[2] The genus is named for Greek poet Nicander of Colophon, who wrote about plants[3] – notably in his poem Alexipharmaca, which treats of poisons and their antidotes.

As of March 2019, Plants of the World Online accepted three species:[1]

From 1763 until 2007, when Nicandra john-tyleriana was described,[4] the only species in the genus was Nicandra physalodes. A third species, Nicandra yacheriana, was described in 2010.[5]
