Etymology:
"This genus is named in honour of Benjamin Clemens Stone (1933-1994) to whom we dedicate this article. Ben contributed immensely to the taxonomy of Pandanaceae and was the leading authority on the family for several decades; his work will remain fundamental to the study of the
group for many years to come."
