Publication Chronology for the Sinningia alliance

This table shows the historical sequence for the first publication (under whatever name) of sinningia, paliavana, and vanhouttea species.  This will not necessarily be the order in which they were introduced into cultivation, but it is probably pretty close.

If the original name is italicized, please see the publication information on the species page for more information.

The type species are identified for Sinningia and Vanhouttea.  It's not clear what the type species for Paliavana is.  What became Paliavana prasinata was published in 1820, but not as a paliavana until 1876.  If that was the original publication of the name Paliavana, it would be after that of Sinningia (1825) and Vanhouttea (1845).

Brazil has been yielding up new sinningias right and left in recent years, so we can expect an expansion of this table soon.
