Taxonomy

''Arachnothryx'' was Botanical name, named by Jules Émile Planchon in 1849.''Arachnothryx'' In: International Plant Names Index. (see ''External links'' below).Jules Émile Planchon. 1849. ''Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe'' 5:442 and illustration. (see ''External links'' below). This Genus#Generic name, generic name is Etymology, derived from Ancient Greek: ''arachne'' or ''arachnos'', "a spider", and ''thrix'' or ''trichos'', "hair". As currently Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed, ''Arachnothryx'' is paraphyletic over ''Cuatrecasasiodendron'', ''Gonzalagunia'', and ''Javorkaea''. Some authors have included these genera in a sensu lato, broadly defined ''Rondeletia (plant), Rondeletia'', but molecular phylogenetic Research, studies have shown that they are more closely related to ''Guettarda'' than to ''Rondeletia (plant), Rondeletia''.
