Description

Tchihatchewia Boiss. in Tchich., Asie Min., Bot. 1: 292. 1860.

Tribe: Hesperideae Prantl.

Notes. – RAUSCHERT (1982) claimed that Boissier’s name was published in 1866 and was predated by Tchihatchewia Unger, a fossil genus published in 1863. As indicated by AL-SHEHBAZ et al. (2007), STAFLEU & COWAN (1976) clearly demonstrated that Tchihatcheff ’s volume 1 of Asie Mineure botanical account was published in 1860. Therefore, Rauschert’s generic name Neotchihatchewia Rauschert as a replacement of Boissier’s name is illegitimate.

Molecular phylogenetic studies by WARWICK et al. (2010) clearly show that the monospecific Tchihatchewia is nested within the earlier published Hesperis and, therefore, the two genera have recently been united (GERMAN & AL-SHEHBAZ, 2018).
