Talk:Maurocenia

Is Maurocenia monotypic?

The genus Maurocenia appears to have several species (eg. Maurocenia arguta. http://gni.globalnames.org/?search_term=id:8061292 ) and not just frangularia, so it might be best to call this page by the specific species name.

Up to 18 species are listed as falling under Maurocenia, admittedly several appear to be synonyms and several have alternative names using different genera (but it's not clear which genus is the new/current one, perhaps these species now ALL fall under Maurocenia?) http://gni.globalnames.org/data_sources/2?page=51&search_term=ns%3AMAU* http://zipcodezoo.com/Key/Plantae/Maurocenia_Genus.asp http://www.plantsystematics.org/taxpage/0/genus/Maurocenia.html

Altogether it seems to make more sense to call this page Maurocenia frangularia as an individual page for this one particular species (at least until this is resolved), as there seem to be many other names in this genus. Abu Shawka (talk) 09:55, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I've addressed a few of these on my talk page - many species once placed in this genus are no longer in it; many of these sources may be out of date. Maurocenia arguta, for example appears to now be Turpinia arguta var. arguta. Please let me know if you find another that is still in Maurocenia and we'll get it moved back. Thanks!

Maurocenia frangularia or Maurocenia frangula?

My reference has the specific epithet as frangula, with the added remark that it is often incorrectly spelled frangularia. Any comments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jstooke (talk • contribs) 11:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
