What is "persoonia"

Persoonia is a genus of 98 species of shrubs and small trees in the tribe Persoonioideae in the large and diverse plant family Proteaceae. In the eastern states of Australia, they are commonly known as geebungs, while in Western Australia and South Australia they go by the common name snottygobbles. While their flowers are small and not prominent, persoonias are best known in the Australian bush for the striking bright green foliage of many species.

Persoonia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the taxonomy, molecular systematics, and evolution of fungi. The journal, established in 1959, is published jointly by the National Herbarium of the Netherlands and the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS) Fungal Biodiversity Centre.
