Goodallia (plant) explained

Goodallia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.[1] It just contains one species, Goodallia guianensis Benth. [2]

Its native range is Guyana.[2]

The genus name of Goodallia is in honour of Edward Angelo Goodall (1819–1908), an English painter and illustrator.[3] The Latin specific epithet of guianensis means "of the Guianas" (an area of north eastern South America).[4] It was first described and published by George Bentham in London J. Bot. Vol.4 on page 633 in 1845.[2]
