Name

Barteria Hook.f., J. Proc. Linn. Soc., Bot. 5: 14, t. 2. (1860)

Type species: Barteria nigritana Hook.f., J. Proc. Linn. Soc., Bot. 5: 15, t. 2. (1860)

Synonyms

Heterotypic
Buelowia Schumach.

Note: Govaerts et al. (2020) and Christenhusz et al. (2018) place Smeathmannia R.Br. in synonymy, but this is not universally accepted. In addition, if the two genera are synonymous then the genus Smeathmannia (1821) ought to have been adopted, as it has priority ICN Section 3 Art. 11. Therefore, the above is a view of Barteria s.s. (Catol-Hassler, 2020), as WS must adopt a conservative position.

Taxonomy

The genus name of Barteria is in honour of Charles Barter (1821 – 1859), was a Scottish gardener and botanist who trained at Kew Gardens in London from 1849 to 1851.[2] It was first described and published in J. Proc. Linn. Soc., Bot. Vol.5 on page 14 in 1860.[1]
