Biology:Electranthera
Electranthera is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Mexico to Honduras.[1] The genus was first established in 1836, but under the illegitimate name Electra. A replacement name was published in 2015.[2]
Taxonomy
The genus was first described in 1836 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, using the name Electra.[2] However, this name had already been published for a plant genus in 1813, so de Candolle's name was illegitimate.[3] In 2014, de Candolle's genus, whose species are shrubby and pistillate-rayed, was resurrected from synonymy with typically herbaceous and sterile-rayed genus Coreopsis. However, at the time the authors did not notice that de Candolle's name was illegitimate. In 2015, the legitimate replacement name Electranthera was published.[4]
