De Potu Coffee
worth mentioning some specifics of the details of authorship here, since many online and botanical sources repeat De Candolle and Gray's mistake of crediting the dissertation directly to Strauss instead of to Peters. — LlywelynII  06:09, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Straussia
The genus is usually credited directly to Gray instead of to De Candolle, whom Gray claimed to be respecting in his paper. Presumably, De Candolle was originally describing some other species which were removed from the genus before Gray's paper, leading to the confused attribution. If possible, it would be best to mention De Candolle's original sense here as well. — LlywelynII  06:13, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
