Taxonomy

Species in homonymic genus In 1978, Cabrera used the name Jeffreya to refer to a plant from Madagascar, rather different from the plant to which Wild had already applied the name four years earlier. This necessitated a renaming of Cabrera's species:

Jeffreya decurrens (L.) Cabrera - Neojeffreya decurrens (L.) Cabrera

The genus name of Jeffreya is in honour of Charles Jeffrey (b. 1934), an English botanist at Kew Gardens with a focus on Chinese flora and also specialist in Asteraceae and Cucurbitaceae.
