http://calflora.net/botanicalnames/pageG.html: Pseudognaphal'ium: literally false Gnaphalium, this is the new genus name for several species of Gnaphalium, and refers to a superficial resemblance to genus Gnaphalium Gnaphalium: derived from the Greek gnaphalon, "a lock of wool," describing these plants as floccose-woolly (ref. genus Gnaphalium)
