Name

Chamaenerion Ség., Pl. Veron. 3: 168 (1754), nom. superfl. or nom. illeg. as not including present type species according to Holub (1972), but accepted as legitimate and validly published by Sennikov (2011) under ICN Art. 11.3.

• Type species: Chamaenerion angustifolium (L.) Scop., Fl. Carniol., ed. 2. 1: 271. (1771)
  

Note: Very often found as a synonym of Epilobium s.l. see Govaerts et al. (2023). As yet, there is no definitive evidence for favouring one taxonomic opinion over another and therefor WS must have separate taxon pages for each opinion

Synonyms

• Homotypic
  • Chamerion Raf., Herb. Raf. 51 (1833), nom. nud.
  • Epilobium subg. Chamerion Raf., Amer. Monthly Mag. & Crit. Rev. 2: 266 (1818), nom. inval.
  • Chamerion (Raf.) Raf. ex Holub, Folia Geobot. Phytotax. 7(1): 85. (1972).
• Heterotypic
  • Chamaenerion Hill, Suppl. Chamber's Cyclop. (Scott) (1753), nom. inval., opus utiq. oppr.
    • Type species: C. angustifolium (L.) Scop. (designated by Pfeiffer 1873)
  • Chamaenerion (Gesn.) Ludw. (1760), vide J.A. Nieuwland (American Midland Naturalist 1(1): 18 (Apr. 1909).
  • Chamaenerion Gray, Nat. Arr. Brit. Pl. 2: 559 (1821), nom. illeg. non Ség. (1754).
  • Chamaenerium Spach, Hist. Nat. Vég. 4: 396 (1835).
  • Pyrogennema Lunell, Amer. Midl. Naturalist 4: 482 (1916).

Note:

The correct name for this genus has been solved satisfactorily according to most authorities. Chamaenerion Ség. (1754) does lack a generic description or diagnosis, however, the genus name was validly published by indirect reference to the generic description in Séguier (Pl. Veron. 1: 401. 1745), therefore, it has precedence (Sennikov, 2011). Incidentally, Chamaenerion Ség. (1754), when segregated from Epilobium L. (1753), is used by almost all authorities except for the Flora of China.
