Binomial name
Shafera platyphylla

Greenm.

Shafera is a monotypic genus of plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family.[1][2]

The only known species is Shafera platyphylla, which is native to Cuba.[3][4]

The genus name of Shafera is in honour of John Adolph Shafer (1863–1918), an American botanist.[5] The Latin specific epithet of platyphylla is a compound word, with 'platy-' derived from Greek word (platús) meaning flat and broad, and also '-phylla' meaning leaf.[6] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Publ. Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Bot. (Series 2) page 327 in 1912.[4]
