Synonymy
Hebanthe Mart., Beitr. Amarantac.: 96. 1825 sec. Borsch & Pedersen (1997)
Notes
The genus was resurrected based on its very distinctive flower and pollen morphology by Borsch & Pedersen (1997) and also appears to be monophyletic based on molecular phylogenetic analysis (Sánchez del-Pino & al. 2009; Borsch & al. 2011).
