Etymology:
"Brown (1810) did not give the derivation of his generic name but it can be inferred to be a combination of the Greek words chaete (bristle) and spora (a seed), referring to the nutlet surrounded by bristles."
Text:
"The lectotype is chosen on the basis that C. curvifolia is relatively representative of Brown’s generic description."
