Abstract:

A species formerly thought to be in a monotypic genus, Petrogenia repens I. M. Johnston, is found to be congeneric with Bonamia. The new combination Bonamia repens (I. M. Johnston) Austin & Staples is made. This species, with two others, we interpret as being an endemic triad in the Chihuahuan Desert Region. Possible relationships, ecology, palynology, cotyledon structrue, and morphology are discussed.
