Taxonomy

The tribe was first described, as Condamineeae, by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1873. A change in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants in 2011 extended the conservation of family names to subtaxa that include the type of the conserved family name. As Dialypetalanthaceae is a conserved name, based on the genus Dialypetalanthus, any tribe that includes this genus must be called Dialypetalantheae. The name was published by James L. Reveal in 2012.[4][1][2]
