Taxonomy

Although Kippistia is currently considered a monotypic taxon, in 1872, John Miers used the same name to describe some South American plants in the Celastraceae. Miers was aware that Ferdinand von Mueller had already applied the name to some very different Australian plants.[8] Therefore, Miers' names needed to be changed:

  • Kippistia cognata Miers - Cheiloclinium cognatum (Miers) A.C.Sm.
  • Kippistia diffusiflora Miers - Cheiloclinium diffusiflorum (Miers) A.C.Sm.
  • Kippistia organensis Miers - Cheiloclinium serratum (Cambess.) A.C.Sm.
  • Kippistia serrata (Cambess.) Miers - Cheiloclinium serratum (Cambess.) A.C.Sm.
