Parakeelya Hershk. (Montiaceae) has become the name conserved over older Rumicastrum Ulb. for a lineage of Australian plants historically classified in Calandrinia Kunth. In Candollean taxonomy persistent to late 20th Century, were large, heterogeneous, and polyphyletic circumscription Calandrinia, later referred by designation “Calandrinia s. l.” Following cladistic dissection, “s. str.” was restricted small, homogeneous, well-supported clade American plants. The formerly monotypic poorly studied genus Ulb., Parakeelya, which specifically excluded latter. specialists, however, eschewed both these names continued classify existing new species as Calandrinia. However, they never justified this usage on taxonomic evidence. some cases, used though it applied exclusively plants, explained why does or not pertain lineage. Phylogenetics researchers appropriated refer plus str., predicated disprove its monophyly, supported first place. They demonstrated that indeed pertains lineage, but proposed nomenclatural conservation Parakeelya. Yet, numerous subsequent publications, use describe present work, I demonstrate application str. conceptually illegitimate, because are conceptual homonyms taxa had been applied. discuss evidence deliberate with objective preventing correct from being accepted includes is limited earlier-reported irregularities authors’ proposal conserve including considerable factually incorrect otherwise misleading information biased favor approved conservation. terms equivalence scientific assertions, be erroneous, incidentally deliberately so.
