Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. nom. nud. Siebold did not provide a description or diagnosis. Protologue: '“Ex insulis Luikiu introducta, vix asperitati hiemis resistens. Ex foliis linteum, praesertim in insulis Luikiu ac quibusdam insulis provinciae Satzuma conficitur. Est haud dubie linteum, quod Philippinis incolis audit Nippis”. This statement gives information about the economic use (linen is made from the leaves), hardiness in cultivation (scarcely survives the winter), and geographical origin (introduced from the Ryukyu Islands)' (vide Melbourne Code Art. 38 Ex. 6)
