Aralia castanopsicola, synonym Pentapanax castanopsicola, is a species of plant in the family Araliaceae. It is endemic to Taiwan. [1] It is threatened by habitat loss. [2] The specific epithet is spelt in various ways, including castanopsidicola.
The species was first described by Bunzō Hayata in 1915 in the genus Pentapanax. [3] The epithet has been spelt in various ways. Hayata spelt it castanopsisicola, writing that it grew on the trunks of Castanopsis. [4] The element -cola means 'dweller', [5] so the epithet can be analysed as castanopsis-i-cola. Article 60.10 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants requires such a construction to use the stem of the genitive of first element rather than the whole word before adding -icola. [6] Accordingly, the International Plant Names Index and Plants of the World Online have corrected Hayata's spelling to castanopsicola, [3] [7] which uses the construction castanops-i-cola. In botanical tradition, the genitive ending of words ending -opsis has often been -opsidis [8] (rather than the classically correct -opseos [9]), so an alternative correction to Hayata's spelling is castanopsidicola, as used in the Flora of China for example. [10]
In 1993, Jun Wen transferred Pentapanax castanopsicola to Aralia on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence. Multiple studies since have confirmed that Pentapanax is nested within Aralia. [11]
