  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Buechnera".
  • 🧍 According to Shipunov (2011), this name is a hemihomonym. See Buchnera L. 1753 (Plantae). Publication: Shipunov A. The problem of hemihomonyms and the on-line hemihomonyms database (HHDB). Bionomina 2011; 4:65-72.
  • 🧍 Buchnera Munson et al. 1991 is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the botanical (plant) nomenclature: Buchnera L. 1753. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.
