Komaroviopsis anisoptera (Korovin) Doweld[1]
|
Komaroviopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[2] It contains only one species, Komaroviopsis anisoptera, native to Uzbekistan in Central Asia.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was first described in 1939,[3] along with the sole species. The name Komarovia was in honour of Vladimir Leontyevich Komarov (1869–1945), a Russian botanist.[4] However, the genus name Komaroffia, a variant spelling of Komarov's name when made into Latin, had already been published in 1887, so "Komarovia" is an illegitimate name. The replacement name Komaroviopsis was published in 2021.[5]
The Latin specific epithet of anisoptera is made up of two words; aniso meaning unequal or uneven, and ptera from Greek pterux word meaning wing.[6][7]
