Taxonomy

Taxonomic history

The species Vesta longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong was first described as Schismatoglottis longifolia Ridl. in 1902. Later, the genus Hestia S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce was proposed in 2010 for this species and it was then known as Hestia longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce. However, Hestia now considered a Nomen illegitimum. [1] [4] This is due to the fact, that the generic name Hestia has already been given to a fossil lycopsid. [5] Since the new generic name was not accepted, the new genus Vesta S.Y.Wong was described in 2018, and the single species is since known as Vesta longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong. [4] [1]
