My terrible memes, if plant genus were named after (sometimes obscure) pop culture
There are a few, sorry.

Loved the Aleurites one. 
Took me a moment.
I only get, like, half of them and that may be generous. but the ones I get are hilarious! Now I’m going to be looking for more…
Centaurs simply don’t exist, that’s why they are not insects.
As I wrote, some may be obscure :) it could have been worse
1: Suicidal Tendencies “Still Cyco After All These Years” / a terrible pronunciation of Sicyos
2: A can of tuna / again, a terrible pronunciation of tuna sounding like Toona
3: The island of Tortuga, as made famous by Pirates of the Carribean, or for a level up, “Jack Sparrow” by Lonely Island feat. Michael Bolton / a typo of Tortula
4: INXS Kick / Sometimes you Kickxia, sometimes you get Kickxia
5: I’m Troy McLure, you may remember him from the Simpsons / This was a special request from a colleague who came across a box of Maclura
6: We are Anonymous / I’m certain it’s the correct pronunciation of Euonymus
7: Oh no, a duplicate entry.
8: Cinderella, I could go obscurer with a Charles Perrault illustration / a dyslexic reading of Synedrella
9: Anastasia / again, a dyslexic Athanasia
10: Highlander, when Christophe Lambert was famous / Hylandia, surely sounds the same
11: Pandora box / a box of Pandorea, the best part is at the bottom
11: Fructis by Garnier (I had an unsaved version of Unreasonable Beahaviour by Laurent Garnier, for the French Touch connaisseurs) / Garnieria is surely named after someone name Garnier, but it’s not a shampoo ingredient
12: Marilyn Mason “Antichrist Superstar” / a dyslexic terrible pronunciation of Anthiriscus
13: Ferrari / Ferraria is the latin feminin name of Ferrari, right?
14: Gojira AKA Godzilla, obscure reference version refers to the metal band / a typo of Geijera
15: “Alright, alright, alright” McConaughey’s been rocking that catchphrase since portraying the David Wooderson character in the coming of age film Dazed And Confused in 1993. / a zero effort pronunciation of Aleurites
16: Hakuna Matata / now, try to say Mucuna without singing
17: Pele, the greatest footballer of all time / is Pelea an hommage?
18: Uranus (giggle) / Alnus (giggle)
19: Los Del Rio, or Los Del Mar “Macarena” / “hey Macaranga” if the song was about a plant instead of a woman
20: Pamela Anderson, Barb Wire may not be as popular as Baywatch, but I only watched it for the song by INXS on the soundtrack / a couple of typos in Parmelia
21: N.W.A. “Straight Outta Campton” / Comptonella has of course no connection West Coast rap
22: Battlestar Galatica / typo of Galactia
23: Metallica “And Justice For All” / of course, this classic of thrash metal is about Justicia
24: Euphoria, I don’t have HBO but from I undrestood it’s not about young botanists who are into Euphorbia
25: Hey Siri / soft pronunciation of Xyris
26: Here’s the Wikipedia entry on Wikstroemia / a far fetched one, I tend to read in diagonal, even words.

Maybe it’s a typo of Euphonia, rather than Euphorbia.
