==Species== Four species are accepted. Niemeyera chartacea (F.M.Bailey) C.T.White - Queensland Niemeyera discolor – Queensland Niemeyera prunifera (F.Muell.) F.Muell. - Queensland Niemeyera whitei (Aubrév.) Jessup - Queensland, New South Wales formerly included now in other genera: Amorphospermum Chrysophyllum Pycnandra homonym genus In 1867, Muller used the name Niemeyera to refer to a very different plant, now placed in the Orchidaceae. This name, although older than the 1870 name in the Sapotaceae, is now considered a rejected name. Hence: Niemeyera F.Muell. 1867 - syn of Apostasia Blume 1825 Niemeyera stylidioides F.Muell. - syn of Apostasia wallichii R.Br.
