Huberopappus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. [1] It only contains one species, Huberopappus maigualidae. [2]

It is native to Venezuela. [2]

The genus name of Huberopappus is in honour of Otto Huber (b. 1944), an Italian ecologist known for his work on the botany, phytogeography and conservation of the neotropics. [3] The Latin specific epithet of maigualidae refers to Sierra de Maigualida in Guiana Shield, southern Venezuela. [4]

Both species and genus were first described and published in 1992. [5]

<i>Lepechinia</i> Genus of flowering plants

Lepechinia is a genus of plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It includes several species of plants known commonly as pitchersages. Plants of this genus can be found in Central and South America, Mexico, California, Hispaniola, and Hawaii, although the species in Hawaii is probably a human introduction. Many of them bear attractive pitcher-shaped flowers, often in shades of purple. The genus was named for the Russian botanist Ivan Ivanovich Lepechin. Recently, the two monotypic genera Chaunostoma and Neoeplingia were shown to be part of Lepechinia.
