Name

Waltheria L., Sp. Pl. 2: 673. 1753.

Type species: Waltheria indica L., Sp. Pl. 2: 673 (1753)

Note: Waltheria americana and W. indica have equal priority according to ICN Code Art. 11, Ex. 18, but W. indica is treated as having priority over W. americana by IPNI (2020) and therefore it becomes the type species.
Synonyms
