Taxonomy

Hypericum collenetteae was first described by Norman Robson in 1993. Robson spelt the specific epithet collenettiae. This is corrected to collenetteae in the International Plant Names Index entry. [3] According to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, Article 60.8, a connecting i is not used in epithets formed from personal names ending with a vowel. [4] Iris Sheila Collenette is noted for her work on the botany of Saudi Arabia, [5] [6] and collected the holotype of this species. [2]
