Summary

Pisoniella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae. It only contains one known species, Pisoniella arborescens (Lag. & Rodr.) Standl. It is native to (northwestern) Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico. The genus name of Pisoniella is in honour of Willem Piso (1611–1678), a Dutch physician and naturalist who participated as an expedition doctor in Dutch Brazil from 1637 – 1644. The Latin specific epithet of arborescens refers to arboreus meaning tree-like. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. Vol.13 on page 385 in 1911. it has one known subspecies; Pisoniella arborescens var. glabrata (Heimerl) Heimerl from Bolivia and northwestern Argentina....read more on Wikipedia.
