      In honour of Bohumil Nemec (1873-1966) of Bohemia, professor
      of botany and cytologist.

      South-west western Australia.

      Eucalypt forest, woodland, mallee and heath on oligotrophic soils.

      Some species have large, red bird-pollinated flowers, which may
      or may not have evolved independently of those in Brachysema
      and Jansonia. See Crisp (1994) in P.Eggleton and R.Vane-Wright,
      Phylogenetics and Ecology, 281-309.
