Lacomucinaea Nickrent & M.A. García View in CoL , gen. nov.
Diagnosis: Shrubs with glaucous branches and characteristic yellow-green longitudinal striations, solitary flowers and white drupes. It is distinguished from Thesium and Osyridicarpos by its early caducous leaves in which the senescence starts from the petiole, not from the apex.
Eponymy: The name Lacomucinaea is in honor of Professor Ladislav (“Laco”) Mucina who was born 28 May 1956 in Piešt’any, Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia). Dr. Mucina is a renowned expert on the South African vegetation and has a keen interest in the systematics of Thesium as well as numerous other plants.
