Capuron ex Bosser

Landiopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, 'Landiopsis capuronii' Bosser [2]

It is native to Madagascar.[2]

The genus name of Landiopsis is in honour of Jérôme Lalande (1732–1807), a French astronomer, freemason and writer.[3] The Latin specific epithet of capuronii refers to Botanist René Paul Raymond Capuron (1921-1971) who originally described the species.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Adansonia, séries 3, Vol.20 on page 132 in 1998.[2]
