Taxonomy

The genus name of Mollia is in honour of Karl von Moll (1760–1838), an Austrian naturalist and statesman.[3] it was first described and published in Nov. Gen. Sp. Pl. Bras. Vol.1 on page 96 in 1826.[1]

The genus is recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, but they do not list any known species.[4]

The genus has been studied and synonyms have been determined.[5]
