Latin mallĕŏlus ‘small hammer, mallet’ + Latin –ātus ‘having, -like’. Not explained by Ritter. Perhaps for the many offsets (Kakteen And. Sukk. 47(5): Karteikarte 1996/09 [author unknown, only incomplete Google Books snippet seen]) which have a “thin connection” to the mother plant (Ritter, Kakteen Südamerika 3: 1020. 1980).
