REMARKS

According to Quattrocchi (2000) the generic name is from the Greek word “ geisson ” meaning a tile, and refers to the overlapping winged seeds in the dehiscent fruits. Post & Kuntze (1903) gave the name as “ Gissois Lab.”, but their alteration of the spelling was not adopted and is not included in indices such as Index Nominum Genericorum (http:// ravenel.si.edu/notany/ing/ingForm.cfm, consulted 30 March 2006) or Index Kewensis (see International Plant Names Index , website http://www.ipni.org, consulted 30 March 2006).
