Type illustrations
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]
