Abstract
Within the frame of the Deppea two types of floral organisation have been recognised: the classic genus based on the type D. erythrorhiza Cham. et Schltdl., characterised by rotate corolla with very short tube, longer filaments and long linear anthers both longer than the corolla tube. The other floral type is characterised by funnel-form corolla, with longer upwards broadening corolla tube with short or absent filaments and short, ovate anthers. This corolla type was recognised by Standley (1933) and described as Edithea based on E. floribunda Standl. Based on seemingly intermediate corolla forms the two genera were united by the classic taxonomic treatment of Lorence and Dwyer (1988), but micromorphological-anatomical evidence (Borhidi et al. 2004) reinforced Standley’s concept, supported also by the molecular studies of Stranczinger et al. (2010). These latter ones claimed the attention to another taxonomic split existing within the generic frame of Deppea s. str. The separating evidences are in the fr...
