Calanticaria Explained

Calanticaria is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1]

Its native range is eastern Mexico.

Botanists Schilling & Panero in 2002 and 2011, studied the subtribe Helianthinae based on molecular sequences of nuclear ITS, ETS, and cpDNA, coming to a conclusion that that the genus Viguiera, did not constitute a monophyletic group. Among their conclusions they proposed to reclassify the genus, dividing and relocating its species in at least eleven genera: Aldama, Bahiopsis, Calanticaria, Davilanthus, Dendroviguiera, Gonzalezia, Heiseria, Heliomeris, Hymenostephium, Sidneya and Viguiera .[2] [3]
