Pierranthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Linderniaceae. The only known species is Pierranthus capitatus (Bonati) Bonati. [2]
Its native range is Indo-China and it is found in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. [1]
The genus name of Pierranthus is in honour of Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre (1833–1905), a French botanist known for his Asian studies. [3] The genus has one known synonym of Delpya Pierre ex Bonati. [2] The Latin specific epithet of capitatus is derived from capitate meaning having dense-headed growth. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bull. Soc. Bot. Genève, séries 2, Vol.4 n page 254 in 1912. [1] [2]
