Name

Muellerolimon Lincz. Bot. Zhurn. (Moscow & Leningrad) 67(5): 675 (1982).

• monotypic taxon
  

Note: Accepted by Hernández-Ledesma et al. (2015) Hassler {2024) but not by Govaerts (2024) as Goniolimon a genus native to northern and central Asia and southern Europe, whereas Muellerolimon is native to western Australia. It is no wonder that the Australian Plant Census accepts Muellerolimon. POWO will be changing their database in due course and so the disputed tag has been removed.

Synonyms
