Lectotype (Rankin & Greuter in Willdenowia 34: 262. 2004): [icon] " Breynia Elaeagni foliis" in Breyn, Prodr. Fasc. Rar. Pl.: 13, unnumbered plate. 1739. Generitype of Breynia Linnaeus , nom. rej. Current name: Capparis indica (L.) Fawc. & Rendle ( Capparaceae ). Note: Breynia Linnaeus (1753) , nom. rej. vs. Breynia J.R. Forst , et G. Forst. (1775), nom. cons. 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.
