Taxonomy and naming
The genus Pholidota was first formally described in 1825 by John Lindley who published the description in Hooker's Exotic Flora, Containing Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare or Otherwise Interesting Exotic Plants.[1][6][7] The name Pholidota is derived from the Ancient Greek word pholidotos meaning "clad in scales",[8] referring to the large bracts at the base of the flower in some species.[3]
