Yes, it is hard to keep up-to-date with botanic name changes. I have to check and recheck (and recheck) NSW Flora Online (PlantNET) herefrequently for each and every botanic report I churn out. They have lagged behind in recent times, BUT . . . a very capable person is now managing the website from the NSW Herbarium, and it is getting updated on a ...
When we come across a change where a plant genus may be shifted to a different botanical family, or, species in a much loved genus are altered (eg: some Eucalyptus spp. moved to Corymbia spp. and the much-loved Dryandra spp. moved to Banksiaspp.) – this is not a berserk approach at all (although it may seem such) – but a change that reflects the mo...
Modern-day DNA and genetic techniques give us a clearer picture of how closely species are related, and their actual journeys through evolutionary time. Plants are reclassified, on peer-reviewed evidence, based on their evolutionary lineages, with additional classification rules applied that the shift or change should be the most-simple and scienti...
So, things are in a state of constant shift and we all have to grapple with it. It does get very hard for us when botanists disagree, based on their own species concepts and opinions, as well as, how evidence is interpreted (a common world-wide issue!). This usually happens at interstate levels between herbaria. Meetings also take place between her...
There have been a few name changes recently. If I see the change on PlantNET, I just accept it and run with it, as I am loyal to my State Government Herbarium. If I moved to WA, for example, I would use their classifications.
There is a website run by the Missouri Botanical Garden that has come to the fore for the latest results and understanding on how plant genera and families are currently grouped. The link is here: http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/It also provides a nice introduction on the importance of this work; work that potentially is causing us some m...
Epitype. A specimen or illustration selected to serve as an interpretative type when the identity of the primary type (e.g. the lectotype) cannot be precisely established. Generitype. The type of the name of a genus (which is the type of the name of a species).
Sep 12, 2024 · Euterpe oleracea, E. precatoria, and E. edulis are differentiated based on the number of stems, flower traits, trichomes, endosperm, and eophyll (Fig. 2). Euterpe oleracea is a multi-stemmed palm whereas E. edulis and E. precatoria are solitary palms.
Thalia is a genus of flowering plants in the Marantaceae (prayer plant and arrowroot) family found mainly in aquatic, marshy and riparian zones in Eastern, Central and Western Africa—as far south as Zimbabwe—and the Americas, from Illinois in the north, through northern Argentina in the southern part of its range.

Mar 6, 2017 · Euterpe andPrestoea, andJessenia andOenocarpus, have been repeatedly united and separated. A phylogenetic analysis based on 54 morphological and anatomical characters gave one tree of 127 steps.Euterpe is separate fromPrestoea, butJessenia andOenocarpus are best treated as one genus.
