Iochroma coccinea Scheidw. aka (?) I. coccineum Scheidw. (Solanaceae) in Kew Gardens.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cultivated specimen of Iochroma coccinea Scheidw. (Solanaceae) growing under glass in a border in the Temperate House, Kew Gardens, Surrey, UK. Close-up of inflorescence of scarlet, tubular flowers, for which the species received its specific name (Latin 'coccineus/coccinea/coccineum' - 'scarlet'). The species is native to Mexico. The majority of Iochroma spp. are of South American rather than Central American provenance.

The current status of the species is problematic : label in Kew Gardens uses specific name 'coccinea' - feminine form agreeing with feminine genus name 'Iochroma'. However, Kew's database Plants of the World Online gives 'no results' for the binomial 'Iochroma coccinea' , although does list Iochroma coccineum Scheidw. as an accepted species. The Plant List, by contrast, lists both Iochroma coccinea Scheidw. and Iochroma coccineum Scheidw. as unresolved species with a confidence level of only one star out of a possible three. The author abbreviation for the publisher of both names is the same : Scheidw. (for Michael Joseph Francois Scheidweiler), suggesting that both names may refer to the same species. This taxonomic tangle needs resolution by specialists in the taxonomy of the Solanaceae.
