Echinopepon rosei is a species of flowering plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae. [3]
Echinopepon rosei was first described as Vaseyanthus rosei by the Belgian botanist Célestin Alfred Cogniaux in 1891. [4] The generic name Vaseyanthus honors the "learned botanist" Dr. George Vasey, who was then the Chief Botanist at the United States Department of Agriculture. The specific epithet rosei honors Joseph Nelson Rose, Vasey's "aide and distinguished collaborator". [5] Vaseyanthus rosei was placed in genus Echinopepon in 2011. [2] As of January 2025 [update] , Echinopepon rosei(Cogn.) H.Schaef. & S.S.Renner is a widely accepted name. [3] [6]
Célestin Alfred Cogniaux was a Belgian botanist. Amongst other plants, the genus Neocogniauxia of orchids is named after him.
Trillium vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. It is a spring-flowering perennial plant found only in the southeastern United States. The specific epithet vaseyi honors the American plant collector George Richard Vasey, not to be confused with his father George S. Vasey. The species is commonly called Vasey's Trillium.

Rugelia nudicaulis, the sole species of the genus Rugelia, blooms in summer. It is a wildflower endemic to higher elevations in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is a rare species in Tennessee. Genetic diversity in this plant, assessed using allozymes, is so low that the species may not survive changing environmental conditions. Both the scientific name and the common names honor Ferdinand Rugel, a botanist and plant collector who collected plant specimens throughout the southeastern United States during the period 1840–1848.
George S. Vasey was an English-born American physician and botanist. He practiced medicine in Illinois for nearly two decades. He was appointed Chief Botanist at the United States Department of Agriculture in 1872, a position he held for the remainder of his life. His greatest achievement was the building up of the United States National Herbarium.

Based on molecular data from the rbcL gene, it is sister to the Chrysobalanaceae.
Rhododendron vaseyi, the pinkshell azalea, is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae. It is endemic to the Appalachian highlands of North Carolina. The specific epithet vaseyi honors the American plant collector George Richard Vasey and his father Dr. George Vasey, Chief Botanist at the United States Department of Agriculture from 1872 to 1893. The species is sometimes referred to as the Vasey Rhododendron.
