This genus was founded by Miss Ludlow upon a very distinct 

 species from the Philippine Islands. It clearly comes, as she 

 says, between Macleaya, Theobald, and Finlaya, Theobald. 



The genus is named in honour of Lieut. -Col. B. F. Pope, 

 Deputy Surgeon-General of the U.S.A. Army, under whose 

 directions Miss Ludlow's investigations were begun.
