Semecarpus is a genus of plants in the family Anacardiaceae. It includes 87 species native to the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, Malesia, Taiwan, Papuasia, Queensland, and the South Pacific.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus Semecarpus was erected by Carl Linnaeus the Younger in 1782 in Supplementum Plantarum.[2] In the same work, he described Semecarpus anacardium.[3] The gender of the genus name has been the subject of some confusion. Early authors treated it as feminine. As one example, in 1850, Carl Ludwig Blume described a number of species of Semecarpus, such as Semecarpus heterophylla and Semecarpus longifolia, using feminine endings for the specific epithet.[4] However, Example 3 of Article 62 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants states that all compounds ending in the Greek masculine ‑carpos or ‑carpus are masculine.[5] (As of June 2022), the International Plant Names Index and Plants of the World Online used masculine endings, such as Semecarpus heterophyllus and Semecarpus longifolius,[1] while the Global Biodiversity Information Facility had mixed endings, such as Semecarpus heterophylla and Semecarpus longifolius.[6]
