[Taxacom] Taxonomic status of genus Clytostomanthus...

[Ken Kinman]

Hi Tony,
        I guess it depends whether you want to be a lumper or a splitter on this one.  Lohmann, 2010, apparently lumped genus Cydista into Bignonia.  Perhaps a safe way to go (and the most informative) would be to list Cydista as a subgenus, and thus you would have Bignonia (Cydista) decora.   
                ---------------Cheers,                                                  Ken

> I am trying to place the (plant) genus Clytostomanthus Pichon, 1946 (Bignoniaceae: 1 species, S. America, originally described as Anemopaegma decorum) in a "preferred" taxonomic status in my present management hierarchy (for all life) and have a few options:
> 
> - GRIN taxonomy lists it as syn. of Anemopaegma (also, with a variant spelling, as syn. of Clytostoma)
> - Hauk, Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden  Vol. 84, No. 4, 1997 and Mabberley, 2008 have it as syn. of Cydista
> - The Plant List has it as a syn. of Bignonia
> - it is treated as an accepted taxon in Willis, 8th ed. and TROPICOS.
> 
> Any ideas which source would be appropriate to use as a "preferred treatment" at this time?
