[1785-89, L. C. M. Richard s.n.], P;
isolectotype: P. Note: Since available sources are at odds over the authorship
of this name. Whilst the genus can most probably be ascribed to Richard, since
his name is mentioned at the end of it, the same is not true of the single
species it contained at its inception. The Index
Nominum Genericorum database suggests, incorrectly, that Persoon is the
author of both the genus and species.

it is all referable to Melampodium
