Biology:Roessleria
From HandWiki
Roessleria is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It includes five species native to southern Africa, ranging from Angola and Zimbabwe to South Africa.[1]
The species in the genus were originally placed in genus Hirpicium. That genus was found to be paraphyletic, with the five southern African species forming a distinct clade that was given the name Roessleria. The genus is named for botanist Helmut Roessler (1926–2019).[2]
