Astropanax Eogetem
''Astropanax'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae, native to Tropical Africa, Madagascar, and other Indian Ocean islands. It was resurrected from ''Schefflera'' in 2017. Fossil occurrences of the genus are known from the early Miocene (Aquitanian) Mush Valley plant assemblages of Ethiopia from 21.73 million years ago and based on leaf and leaflet compressions and pollen. ''Astropanax eogetem'' is known from a prehistoric tropical moist or wet forest surrounding a crater lake. Additional potential records of the genus are also known from the late Oligocene and Pliocene of Ethiopia, based on pollen referred to as ‘Schefflera abyssinica – type’ and ‘Schefflera cf. S. abyssinica’. Species The following species are accepted: *''Astropanax abyssinicus'' – Nigeria and Cameroon, and eastern Africa from Ethiopia to Malawi *''Astropanax barteri'' – western and west-central Africa to Angola *†''Astropanax eogetem'' - extinct - northwestern Ethiopia ...

Berthold Carl Seemann
Berthold Carl Seemann (25 February 1825, in Kingdom of Hanover – 10 October 1871, in Nicaragua) was a German botanist. He travelled widely and collected and described plants from the Pacific and South America. In 1844 he travelled to the United Kingdom to study botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. On the recommendation of William Jackson Hooker, Sir WJ Hooker, he was appointed naturalist on the voyage of exploration of the American west coast and Pacific by Henry Kellett on HMS Herald (1824), HMS ''Herald'', 1847–1851, along with the naturalists Thomas Edmondston, and John Goodridge. The expedition returned via Hawaii, Hong Kong and the East Indies, calling at the Cape in March 1851. Here he met up with his old acquaintance Karl Ludwig Philipp Zeyher, Zeyher, and with Baur and Juritz they climbed Table Mountain on 13 March 1851, Christian Friedrich Ecklon, Ecklon being unwell and unable to accompany them. On 16 March Zeyher introduced him to James Bowie (botanist), Bowie ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
