99. Erechtites Raf.
(Belcher, 1956)
About 12
species, North America to South America, introduced in the Old World.
Most botanists
have treated the name Erechtites as feminine (E. hieracifolia),
but the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Greuter et al., 2000) has
clarified that generic names ending in -ites must be treated as
masculine.
