Taxonomy
Species in homonymic genus In 1978, Cabrera[5] used the name Jeffreya to refer to a plant from Madagascar , rather different from the plant to which Wild had already applied the name four years earlier. This necessitated a renaming of Cabrera's species:
- Jeffreya decurrens (L.) Cabrera - Neojeffreya decurrens (L.) Cabrera[4]
The genus name of Jeffreya is in honour of Charles Jeffrey (b. 1934), an English botanist at Kew Gardens with a focus on Chinese flora and also specialist in Asteraceae and Cucurbitaceae.[6]
