Etymology

The word Leitneriaceae comes from the plant name Leitneria, a name made to honour a person called Leitner, and the ending -aceae means 'family' in plant names. So Leitneriaceae is the plant 'family' built from the group Leitneria, which is why it refers to a small family of flowering plants.
