Abstract
The family Caricaceae has six genera with together 34 species and one hybrid (Carvalho 2013). Besides the economically important crop, Carica papaya, other species in the family also produce edible fruits that are sold in local markets. The sister group of C. papaya, which originated in Central America, consists of a clade of four species, three herbs in the genus Jarilla endemic to Mexico and Guatemala, and the single species of Horovitzia, H. cnidoscoloides, endemic to cloud forests of Sierra de Juarez in Oaxaca, southern Mexico (Carvalho and Renner 2012).
