Publ. & Syn.Ehrh., Neues Mag. Aerzte 5: 193 (1783).
NotesThe genus name was originally spelled Honkenya by Ehrhart even if it was given in honour of G.A. Honckeny. It may be a borderline case for correction according to ICBN (McNeill et al. 2006). Kurtto (2001a) and Wagner (2005b) applied Honckenya.
