Holotype — UZBEKISTAN [formerly USSR], Qashqadaryo viloyati, Korovin s.n. ( TASH).

Etymology: in honour of Vladimir Leont’jevich Komarov (1869—1945), Russian botanist.

Both generic names in current use, Komarovia Korovin (1940) of Apiaceae and Komaroffia Kuntze (1887) of Ranunculaceae , commemorate the Russian botanist Vladimir Leont’jevich Komarov [Комаров] (1869—1945), the spelling of which is different being derived from the Latin base [Komarov -] or the German base [Komaroff -] of transliteration of his surname.

In addition,a new tribal name Komaroviopsideae trib.nov. is proposed to replace previously proposed ‘ Komarovieae’ J. Zhou & S.R. Downie, nom. inval. (in Zhou et al., 2009: 64), but invalidly published [lacking discernible characters, i.e. descriptive statement does not satisfy the requirement of Art. 38.1(a) for a “description or diagnosis”), since the authors defined the new tribe as “Tribus generum distributionis Asia”:
