Synonym "Cheilyctis Benth."

edit

The name of the synonym "Cheilyctis Benth." (Labiat. Gen. Spec. 726, 1835) is an error in IPNI. Tropicos is right here, as Bentham described a section, Monarda sect. Cheilyctis, not a genus. See the protologue on page 726. Thiotrix (talk) 06:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Then let them know via the feedback form. But please note Bentham places both Cheilyctis Rafin and Coryanthus Nutt. under his Sectio II Cheilyctis. How do you explain this? I assume that IPNI accept Bentham included the genus name under his section. Andyboorman (talk) 07:52, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I sent a notice to IPNI. Thiotrix (talk) 09:00, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

IPNI has already answered: they altered "Cheilyctis Benth." to "Monarda sect. Cheilyctis (Raf.) Benth." and added the basionym "Monarda subgen. Cheilyctis Raf.". Kind regards, . Thiotrix (talk) 07:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Excellent. IPNI are more than willing to admit errors and are happy to change according to evidence. The change/delete will appear in POWO in due course. THey are not as quick to update as IPNI, but also do not include infragenerics or specifics. Andyboorman (talk) 08:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
