On Stoibrax

[Carlos Aedo]

Dear Taxacomers,

I am looking for some information about the etymology of the genus
Stoibrax (Umbelliferae), described by Rafinesque in Good Book: 52
(1840). Unfortunately, this author did not provide any information in
the protologue. This is a genus mainly Mediterranean, which includes few
species. Any help is welcome.
