Jalantzia is a genus of flowering plants in the aster tribe Astereae within the sunflower family Asteraceae. It was previously known as Vernoniopsis Humbert, [2] an illegitimate name. [1] Its species are native to Madagascar.
The genus name Vernoniopsis was first used by Per Karl Hjalmar Dusén in 1921. [3] Dusén described one species, Vernoniopsis crassipes, from Brazil, which has since been synonymized with Vernonia plantaginifolia (as of May 2024 [update] treated as either Pycnocephalum plantaginifolium or Chresta plantaginifolia). Dusén's Vernoniopsis is placed in tribe Vernonieae. [4] In 1955, Jean-Henri Humbert used the same name for a new genus, [5] in which he placed a species from Madagascar originally described as Vernonia caudata. [6] Humbert's genus name, being a later homonym, is illegitimate. [5] In 2024, the replacement name Jalantzia was published for Vernoniopsis Humbert. [1] The genus is placed in the tribe Astereae. [4]
As of May 2024 [update], two species are accepted, both native to Madagascar. [4]
