The genus name of Pombalia is in honour of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal (1699–1782), a Portuguese statesman and diplomat who effectively ruled the Portuguese Empire from 1750 to 1777 as chief minister to King Joseph I.[2] It was first described and published in Fasciculus Plantarum cum novis generibus et speciebus. Olisipone[3] (Fasc. Pl.) on page 7 in 1771.[1]
