Nomenclatural Comment
The genus name Pachycladon is derived from the Greek clados (masculine), so following modern common sense might have been described as Pachycladus. However, this didn't happen. Furthermore, the type species, Pachycladon novae-zelandiae, gave no clue to gender of the genus. Consequently, later workers have had problems determining the gender of the genus and thus the appropriate endings for species epithets. Although "Greek nouns, when taken in to Latin, retain their original gender [which would be masculine], and compounds derived form two more more greek words take the gender of the last unless the ending is altered" (Stearn, Botanical Latin, 1966, p. 264), the ending of Pachycladon was altered to an apparently neuter ending. Species names have therefore been described ending in -us (masculine) or -um (neuter).
