Linnaeus (Crit. Bot.: 77. 1737) coined the genus name “Bosea” to honor Caspar Bose (1645–1700), who owned a famous garden in Leipzig (“Bose Senator Lipsiensis”). Later Linnaeus (Hort. Cliff.: 84. 1738) spelled the name as “Bosia”, provided a description and referenced earlier works, viz., Plukenet (Almagestum: 42. 1696), Sloane (Cat. Pl. Jamaica: 135 [sub Tilia]. 1696, Voy. Jamaica 2: 19 [sub Tilia], t. 158, fig. 3. 1725), Ray (Hist. Pl. 3 (24: Dendrologiæ): 88 [sub Tilia]. 1704), Walther (Design. Pl.: 24 [sub Frutex], t. 10. 1735), and Thran (Index Pl. Horti Carolsruh.: 44. 1733). Subsequently, Linnaeus (Gen. Pl., ed. 2: 102. 1742, Sp. Pl.: 225. 1753; Gen. Pl., ed. 5: 105. 1754) reverted to the original spelling, and it was validated as Bosea, monotypic when published in 1753 with B. yervamora L. as generitype. The epithet is a noun in apposition. The name B. yervamora L. is still in use to refer to the only species of Amaranthaceae endemic in the Canary Islands, where it is common in thermophilous woodland
