Etymology

The name is derived from two Greek words, halos (sea or salt) and rhagos (grape-berry). This refers to the first discovered species being found on beaches and having globular fruit.[1]
Distribution and habitat

Of the 28 species, 23 are endemic to Australia and the remainder to the South Pacific (Tuvalu, New Caledonia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Rapa Nui and the Juan Fernandez Islands, e.g. H. prostrata (Cook Islands).[1]
