#650 They called me Burckella obovata, also known as Illipe hollrungii, Illipe mentzelii, Bassia kajewskii, Bassia hollrungii, Burckella hollrungii, Burckella kajewskii, and Payena mentzelii. I pay homage to the male botanists Max Udo Hollrung, Mentzel (I couldn’t find his records), and Kajewsk (I couldn’t find his records). They first catalogued me in 1890.
