Syneilesis
« on: December 11, 2012, 06:30:19 PM »
I'm writing an article for a Danish society about Syneilesis a genus in the Asteraceae family and I can see in Flora of China that there are 7 species. I know only the name of 6 species: aconitifolia, australis, hayatae, subglabrata, intermedia and palmata. I need all 7 names in my article so I hope there is someone who can help.

The Plant list says there's only six species:

Ronm, Mark and Diane your help and answer was what I look for Thank You
Ronm you gave me the name of the species that I don't know, Mark and Diane gave me information as say one of the species now is a synonym for one of the other species, but on the Plant List I can see they say that the Genus Syneilesis is in the family Compositae, I mean it is Asteraceae, is there something I don't understand?

Same family, different name. A few old family names which date back to Linnaeus were not based on the name of a genus in that family - Compositae was an example. Nowadays this has been tidied up, and pretty much everyone uses the new name, Asteraceae.

I wonder why we need to tidy up. There is no practical reason to change Composite to Asteraceae. or Umbellifere to Apiaceae. Botany is not mathematics. Suppose that someone finds that the genus Aster belongs to Rosaceae Do we change Asteraceae to Rosaceae and what do we then call Rosaceae? It is not very likely but considering some recent changes it is not absolutely impossible.
If we want to tidy up perhaps we should call the man 'von Linné'. Linnaeus is the latinized form used before he was made a nobleman. To call him Linnaeus (unless we are using Latin) is the same as to drop Dame or Sir  from UK names.

Those of us who are citizens not subjects can be stubborn in that regard Göte, not out of disrespect for the person but rather an unwillingness to accept the idea of ennoblement ;) ;D

We've had to make do with sending the odd writer to Stockholm  ;D ;D ;D
Of course sports stars and celebrities get endless television hours and m2 of newsprint.
Humble academics hardly rate a 'Dr' nowadays, and only within their ivory tower.
