Historical Cultural and Traditional Knowledge
"Since this American species has not otherwise been recorded from Africa I suggest that the specimen was really collected in the West Indies where Isert botanised during his homeward journey; thus the American genus Isertia Schreb. was named after him." (Hepper 1976 p. 141)
