Comments:
  • a rejected (nom. rej.), heterotypic synonym (Shenzhen ICN 14.4 & App. III) of Veratrum L., nom. cons.
  • Thunberg (Diss. Melanthio 1797) was the first to merge Veratrum and Melanthium, adopting Melanthium, so this name has priority if the two are synonymized without conservation of Veratrum
