Evolution
"Chamaedorea seifrizii" was described in 1938 by German botanist Max Burret based on a type specimen collected near Chichén Itzá in Mexico. Burret named the species in honour of William Seifriz, the collector of the type material. The holotype has since been lost, but a neotype was designated by Donald R. Hodel in 1992 and is now stored in the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium.References:
