Dear friends
Before we fix the names of plants in our database perhaps an important
decision is needed. In Flora of China (published 2003) and The Plant List
the species under Pouzolzia are split under two genera
*Gonostegia:* Leaf blade 3-veined from base; Male buds truncate, perianth
with annular, often villous, crown formed from
transverse crests of lobes.
*Pouzolzia:* Leaf blade with at least 2 major lateral veins arising
clearly above base; Male flowers without this combination of characters
This won't make any change in the key except that names of taxa will have
to be changed.
The important question is do we treat them under single genus (as Old world
revision in Nordic Journal of Botany, 2006 is more recent) or treat them as
two distinct genera following Flora of China and The Plant List.
