Al-Shehbaz (in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 4: 299. 1985) indicated Plumier’s t. 16 ( Nov. Pl. Amer. 1703) as type (cited erroneously as from 1756). However, as Plumier included two species within his genus, his generic illustration cannot be assumed to apply only to " Breynia eleagni foliis", and is not original material for the name.
