Abstract

The meanings of some cycad names are self-explanatory, but many others are not. This compendium provides the etymological derivations of the names of all currently accepted cycad genera, species, and infraspecific taxa, with their authorities and dates and pages of publication. It is meant to complement the World List of Cycads, and as such, it will be periodically updated following changes in taxonomy and nomenclature.
