Philibert Commerson
Philibert Commerson (; 18 November 1727 – 14 March 1773), sometimes spelled Commerçon by contemporaries, was a French naturalist, best known for accompanying Louis Antoine de Bougainville on his voyage of circumnavigation in 1766–1769. Biography Commerson was born at Châtillon-les-Dombes in France. He studied in Montpellier, and for a time was a practicing physician. He was in contact with Carl Linnaeus, who encouraged him to study fish of the Mediterranean. Commerson returned to live at Châtillon-les-Dombes, where he occupied himself in creating a botanical garden in 1758. After the death of his wife in 1762, he moved to Paris. In 1766, Commerson joined Bougainville on his voyage of circumnavigation after being recommended for the position of naturalist by the Paris Academy of Sciences. He had previously drawn up an extensive programme of nature studies for the Marine Ministry, in which he elaborated the "three natural kingdoms" which a naturalist should investiga ...

Trevoa Quinquenervia
''Trevoa'' is a genus of actinorhizal plants; these dicotyledon flora are trees or small shrubs. The genus was first proposed by Miers in 1825, but was not fully described until 1830 by Sir William Jackson Hooker. Genus members are notable for their ability to fix nitrogen. Species of this genus are generally found in the near coastal forests and arid shrubland of South America. Some species are localized in the mountains of central Chile; for example, the species '' Trevoa trinervis'' occurs in the La Campana National Park and other proximate areas of central Chile. Along with some related plants in the family Rhamnaceae, they fix nitrogen via root nodules which contain ''Frankia'' bacteria. Other nitrogen-fixing genera in this family include ''Ceanothus'', '' Colletia'', ''Discaria'', '' Kentrothamnus'', and '' Retanilla''. Taxonomy The botanist Karl Friedrich Reiche, publishing in the years 1894–1911, recognized 6 species. Currently there are five recognized species in th ...

Discaria Americana
''Discaria'' is a genus of 6 species of flowering plants in the family Rhamnaceae, native to temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere, in Australia, New Zealand and South America. They are deciduous thorny shrubs or small trees growing to 2–5 m tall. They are also non-legume nitrogen fixers. Many of the world's ''Discaria'' species qualify as xerophytes in the true sense of the term, and the Australian species are no exception. They frequently occur on porous or well-drained sites and on soils of low fertility. Some species can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere with the help of symbiotic bacteria (''Frankia'') that form nodules in their roots. Taxonomy Species ''Discaria'' comprises the following species: * '' Discaria americana'' Gillies & Hook. * '' Discaria articulata'' (Phil.) Miers * '' Discaria chacaye'' (G.Don) Tortosa * '' Discaria nitida'' Tortosa * ''Discaria pubescens ''Discaria pubescens'', the hairy anchor plant or Australian anchor plan ...

Unplaced
In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation. The use of the term in English-language biological literature dates back to at least the early nineteenth century. The term ''taxon inquirendum'' is broader in meaning and refers to an incompletely defined taxon of which the taxonomic validity is uncertain or disputed by different experts or is impossible to identify the taxon. Further characterization is required. Certain species names may be designated unplaced names, which ''Plants of the World Online'' defines as "names that cannot be accepted, nor can they be put into synonymy". Unplaced names may be names which were not validly published, later homonyms which are therefore illegitimate, or species which cannot be accepted because the genus name is not accepted. Species names may remain unplaced if there is no accepted species in a genus in which it can be placed, or if the type material for the species ...
