Nestegis
''Nestegis'' is a genus of flowering plant in the olive family, Oleaceae. There are 5 currently accepted species in the genus: 3 species are endemic to New Zealand, while one can be found on New Zealand and Norfolk Island. Another is restricted to Hawaii.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 The related genus ''Osmanthus'' is sometimes included here. ==Etymology== The name ''Nestegis'' is of unknown origin, since the author Constantine Eugene Rafinesque often invented generic names from scratch. It may have no meaning at all or it may derive from Greek ''stegos'' (στέγος) meaning "cover" in allusion to the lack of a corolla in the type species, ''Nestegis apetala''.
