Summary Authorship of Henrya and its type, H. insularis , is attributed to Nees ex Benth. When Bentham is treated as the author of H. insularis , the type of this species becomes an illustration published in 1845. The commonly encountered name, Henrya scorpioides (L.) Nees, pertains to a species of Dicliptera . Its basionym, Justicia scorpioides L., is neotypified by a collection of William Houstoun in the Sloane Herbarium.
