Species in homonymic genus

In 1807, Persoon used the same name, Joannesia, to a very different plant.[6] He thus created an illegitimate homonym, contrary to the rules of nomenclature. So the one species name that he had created in this illegitimate genus had to be renamed, as follows:[7]

gollark: I should* make a thing to scan the entire IPv4 address range for unsecured camera feeds and record them to the osmarks.net disks.
gollark: You're missing out.

gollark: From the fÖx itself.
