Hicken + Latin -Äa, 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 Argentine botanist Cristóbal MarÃa Hicken (1875-1933).
This younger homonym of Hickenia Lillo (1919, Asclepiadaceae) was replaced by Parodia in 1923. A second replacement name, Neohickenia, was published in 1928.
