Al-Shehbaz (in Howard,
Fl. Lesser Antilles

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.
