Anchonium DC. in Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. 7: 242. 1821.

Tribe: Anchonieae DC.

Note. – Anchonium was recognized for almost two centuries (see JACQUEMOUD, 1984b) as a genus of two species centered in SW Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey). However, it has recently been united with Sterigmostemum by GERMAN & AL-SHEHBAZ (2017) based on a closer examination of morphology in light for molecular phylogenetic data.
