Comment:

since this name was originally based on Sophora sericea Andrews, this was an illegitimate later homonym (non J. St. Hil.; Melbourne ICN Art. 53), so there is no parenthetical authorship (Melbourne ICN Art. 58)
the generic treatment and species description in Hortus kewensis is attributed to "Brown mss." so he is the author of the name fide Melbourne ICN Art. 46 Ex. 23
