Homonym edit

Sachsia is currently in use for two genera governed by the same nomenclatural code (ICNAFP). This shouldn't happen, and one of the names will need to be replaced. Until a replacement name is given for the later homonym, the best we can do on Wikipedia is reflect the names as they are currently being used. As far as I can determine, the fungus genus is the later homonym (described in 1894), while the plant genus was described in 1866. Plantdrew (talk) 21:02, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
