Parsonsia alboflavescens is a woody vine of the family Apocynaceae, [2] [4] found from tropical and subtropical Asia to Northern Australia. [4] In the Northern Territory of Australia, where it occurs in Arnhem Land, it has been declared " near threatened". [1]
Parsonsia alboflavescens was first described in 1818, by Dennstedt, as Periploca alboflavescens. [5] [6] It was described many times. [4] The current name is that given by Mabberley in 1977, [2] who, working through the many names, found that Dennstedt's publication preceded all others, which meant that this Parsonsia took the species epithet, alboflavescens. [3]
(See Middleton.) [7]
Robert Brown gave the generic name, Parsonsia, to honour James Parsons (1705–1770). [8] [9] The species epithet, alboflavescens, is derived from the Latin albus (white). flavescens (turning yellow, becoming yellow) and refers to the flower. [10]
