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.]
