  • Type: (not cited).
  • Comment: Farwell attributes this name to W.Hill, Useful Fam. Herbal 141 (1755), stating that Hill had used it "in a generic sense". This view was followed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1349 (1991), but Farwell is here treated as being the first to validly publish the name at generic rank.
