Biology:Acostia
Acostia is a genus of South American plants in the grass family.[1][2][3][4]
The only known species is Acostia gracilis, found only in Ecuador.[5][6] It is listed as an endangered species.[7]
The genus name of Acostia is in honour of Misael Acosta Solís (1910–1994), an Ecuadorian naturalist.[8] The Latin specific epithet of gracilis means "slender".[9] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. Vol.12 on page 109 in 1968.[6] The genus was described of a single specimen, and between its first description in 1968 and 1989 no further collections have been made.[4] In 1989, Webster, Kirkbride and Reyna treated it as a member of the genus Panicum under the new combination Panicum acostia, since Panicum gracile is unavailable, and in 2022 it has been suggested by Gallaher and co-authors that it should be considered either to form a separate genus or as a member of the genus Axonopus.[10]
