  • Type: (not designated).
  • Comment: nom. rej. vs. GYMNOSPORIA (Wight & Arn.) Hook.f. (ref. I.C.B.N. (1978) No. 4627). Forsskal, Fl. Aeg.-Arab. (1775) 63 describes two species, but does not supply a generic diagnosis. N.T.Burbidge, Dict. Austral. Pl. Gen. (1963) 61 cites G.Don, Gen. Hist. Dichlam. Pl. 2 (1832) 9 which is later than the above.
