Boopis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae, which includes eight species native to Chile and western Argentina. [2]

Contents

The genus has been subject to several major revisions. In 2016 the genus as it was then circumscribed was found to be highly polyphyletic, [3] and several species were moved to other genera. [4] In 2024 Pozner et al. placed Boopis anthemoides in the new monotypic genus Xiphodesma , and determined that Boopis was the correct name for the "pilose group" of Calyceraceae species which Pozner et al. had previously placed in Leucocera. [5]
