Castanedia

Castanedia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It contains a single species, Castanedia santamartensis, a shrub endemic to the Sierra [Nevada de Santa Marta] of northeastern Colombia. It grows in montane moist forests from 2400 to 3250 meters elevation.
Both the genus and the species were circumscribed by Robert [Merrill King] and Harold [Ernest Robinson] in Phytologia vol.39 on page 58 in 1978.
The genus name of Castanedia is in honour of Rafael Romero Castañeda, who was a Colombian botanist and plant collector.
