Entire Genus has now been replaced with Anacampseros & I move all Children individually as to avoid mistakes. |
Comments
I suggest moving them & follow POWO considering there has been flags requesting to move some species.
As far as I am aware, the entire genus Avonia was transferred: so all our southern African species are now Anacampseros.
But I dont have data for further north - so I dont know if some were retained elsewhere or not.
recurvata is in both lists. fix.
All our southern Africa species have been transferred.
I will check more tonite.
According to BODATSA:
Avonia herreana becomes Anacampseros herreana
Avonia lavbleckiana becomes Anacampseros lavbleckiana
Avonia mallei becomes Anacampseros mallei
Avonia perplexa BECOMES Anacampseros papyracea !!
Avonia prominens becomes Anacampseros prominens
Avonia recurvata becomes Anacampseros recurvata
Avonia rhodesica becomes Anacampseros rhodesica
Avonia ruschii becomes Anacampseros ruschii
Avonia ustulata becomes Anacampseros ustulata
Avonia variabilis becomes Anacampseros variabilis
So the genus Avonia is a synonym of Anacampseros
Avonia perplexa = Anacampseros papyracea subsp. perplexa & has now been changed accordingly https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77150274-1
Thanks!
See http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/?q=Avonia. OK to follow POWO or are there proposals to deviate?
