Etymology

Haselton + Latin -Δ­a, the recommended suffix to form plant genus names from personal names that end with a consonant (Rec. 60B.1(b), International Code of Nomenclature). Named for American horticulturist Scott Edson Haselton (1895-1991), founding publisher of the Cactus and Succulent Journal (US).

The quote attributed to Backeberg by Burkhardt (Eine EnzyklopΓ€die zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen. 2022) under this genus (“Genus amicissimo meo Dr. E. Haselhoff Monasteriensi de notitia plantarum morborum bene merito benigne
dicatum.”) is in reality a quote from Lindau about the genus Haselhoffia.
