History of genus Lafoensia
The genus Lafoensia was first described by Vandelli 1788, p. 33 and fig. 13 (tab. II, inserted between pages 88 and 89). Vandelli's publication is a list of plant species and/or genera from Portugal and Brasil, probably of those known (to him) at that time. The list includes descriptions of 25 new Brasilian genera, among these Lafoensia. However, there is no information about the material studied, and, consequently, the new genera were proposed without type species. See Moraes 2018 for historic context and details.
