Lepidozamia hopei Regel [WFO] [IPNI] [POWO] [MO]

First published in: Gartenflora 25: 6. (1876). [BHL]

Etymology: Honoring Louis Hope (1817–1894), of Cleveland, Queensland, known in Australia as the father of the Queensland sugar industry, for his active and generous patronage of horticulture, agriculture, and botany in Queensland. [source]

Nomenclature notes: From Johnson (1959) in Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, ser. 2, 84(1): 85: "... not nomenclaturally based on Catakidozamia hopei W. Hill, the publication of which appears to have been unknown to Regel. Regel cited "Katakidozamia Hopei h. Haage et Schm.", a garden name of no validity, though, of course, derived ultimately through horticultural channels from Hill. "
