Northia is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae.
The name was first published by Joseph Dalton Hooker, in Hooker's Icones Plantarum (Sep 1884), in his description of Northia seychellana.[1][3] The spelling was given as Northia on the plate, but the variant Northea in the text.[4] Hooker gave the genus name in honour of the botanical illustrator and painter, Marianne North. Perhaps its most notable characteristic is the huge size of its seeds, each up to 3.1 inches (eight centimeters) in length, and nearly as wide.[5]
Northia seychellana is the only species accepted in the genus. It is endemic to the Seychelles Islands.[2] A few other species were formerly included in Northia but have been moved to Manilkara:
