Natura is a Latin word that means the nature or character of something. I haven't been able to find any reference to a Greek goddess bearing the name.

Natura is the Latin ( and Italian) traslation of the Greek word Physis, that is, among other things, a philosophical concept. I know the Roman Goddess Flora, who was the protectress of plants and flowers, and specially of the harvests.
