Biology:Castanedia

From HandWiki

Castanedia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae.[1] It contains a single species, Castanedia santamartensis, a shrub endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northeastern Colombia.[2] It grows in montane moist forests from 2400 to 3250 meters elevation.[3]

Both the genus and the species were circumscribed by Robert Merrill King and Harold Ernest Robinson in Phytologia vol.39 on page 58 in 1978.[2]

The genus name of Castanedia is in honour of Rafael Romero Castañeda (1910–1973), who was a Colombian botanist and plant collector.[4]
