Description of the genus
Derivation of name: Referring to the tubular perianth of this African genus; solen (Gr) meaning pipe. Comment: A new name for Psilosiphon Welw. ex Goldblatt & J.C.Manning which turned out to be an illegitimate homonym since the name Psilosiphon Entwisle (1989) had been published for a genus of algae in the family Lemaneaceae (now Batrachospermaceae). Worldwide: 15 species in Subsaharan Africa. Zimbabwe: 5 taxa. |
