Taxonomy

It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.[2] In 1891, German botanist Otto Kuntze published Revisio generum plantarum, his response to what he perceived as a lack of method in existing nomenclatural practice.[3] Because Isopogon was based on Isopogon anemonifolius,[4] and that species had already been placed by Richard Salisbury in the segregate genus Atylus in 1807,[5] Kuntze revived the latter genus on the grounds of priority, and made the new combination Atylus attenuatus for this species.[6] However, Kuntze's revisionary program was not accepted by the majority of botanists.[3] Ultimately, the genus Isopogon was nomenclaturally conserved over Atylus by the International Botanical Congress of 1905.[7]

gollark: > I wonder if it would be possible to engineer a contagious bacteria with rapid reproductive rates to produce a fast acting psychoactive compound when undergoing cellular division, similar to how cholera produces cholera toxin. It would be an interesting non lethal bio weapon that could incapacitate enemy forces in a few hoursIt seems like it's getting cheaper and easier for people to genetically engineer bacteria and stuff, so I worry that within a few decades it will be easy enough that people will just do this sort of thing for funlolz.
gollark: I think I remember this being discussed before? Spirit complained about it.
gollark: Talking about where to get them might be, or at least might cause them to complain.
gollark: Based on advanced "ctrl+F" technology, there's nothing specifically about drugs or whatever (would be weird if there was) but just "no doing illegal things". *Talking* about drugs is not illegal.
gollark: There's a specific no-explosives rule, there isn't a specific no-talking-about-drugs one (though I Imagine Discord TOS would forbid some related stuff).
