EtymologyNamed after Spanish mixteca, from N. mixtécatl, inhabitant of the land of the clouds. Said of Amerindian people who today inhabit the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Puebla. [“...This mountain village is in the area long occupied by the Mixteca. It seems appropriate, therefore, that the species of Abronia inhabiting the same region be called Abronia mixteca, new species...”].
