Synonyms [2]

Electranthera is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Mexico to Honduras. [2] The genus was first established in 1836, but under the illegitimate name Electra. A replacement name was published in 2015. [1]

Taxonomy

The genus was first described in 1836 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, using the name Electra. [1] However, this name had already been published for a plant genus in 1813, so de Candolle's name was illegitimate. [3] In 2014, de Candolle's genus, whose species are shrubby and pistillate-rayed, was resurrected from synonymy with typically herbaceous and sterile-rayed genus Coreopsis . However, at the time the authors did not notice that de Candolle's name was illegitimate. In 2015, the legitimate replacement name Electranthera was published. [4]

It does not apply when a name is changed for taxonomic reasons. It is frequently abbreviated, e.g.nomen nov., nom. nov..
