Cunoniaceae R.Br.
Karrabina Rozefelds & H.C.Hopkins , legitimate scientific apni APC Hopkins, H.C.F., Rozefelds, A.C. & Pillon, Y. (18 October 2013), Karrabina gen. nov. (Cunoniaceae), for the Australian species previously placed in Geissois, and a synopsis of genera in the tribe Geissoieae. Australian Systematic Botany 26(3): 180-181 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: Karrabina benthamiana (F.Muell.) Rozefelds & H.C.Hopkins
  • Etymology: "'Garrabin' was referred to as the Aboriginal name for Geissois benthamiana by Dixon et al. (1990), but further research and comments from linguists suggest that the spelling 'Karabin(y)' is more appropriate. The scientific name Karrabina is therefore derived from the name given by Gresty (1946-1947), 'Karabin(y)', which is used for these trees in the Yugambeh Language Region that extends from the Logan River to the Tweed River in south-eastern Queensland (P. O'Connor, pers. comm. 2012). This language region overlaps a significant proportion of the range of K. benthamiana. 'Karabin(y)' is the earliest Aboriginal name found for the tree (M. Sharpe, pers. comm. 2011; S. Haworth, pers. comm. 2011), and Karrabina is one of the very few generic names for Australian plants that is based on the Aboriginal name of the plant. The initial consonant of Karrabina sounds like a 'K', which is consistent with Yugambeh language word usage (P. O'Connor, pers. comm. 2012); the 'r' should be pronounced as a 'rr', hence the spelling of the name, and the 'n' in the name should be pronounced as 'ny' as in canyon."
