Taxonomic remark An illegitimate later homonym of Tunica Ludw. (1757) (GRIN). Name in GRIN and Willis, 8th ed., not in other major compilations. This name can either be considered a new name instance (per Willis) or simply a different usage of Tunica Ludw., albeit with a different type (R. Govaerts, pers. comm. to T. Rees, Nov 2021); according to the latter interpretation it would not be indexed in IPNI or Plants of the World Online at this time. From Madhani et al., 2018: "The confusion began as Haller (1742) described Tunica with the names Dianthus and Caryophyllus below it (probably as synonyms or equivalents). Without naming any species of Tunica, Ludwig (1757) applied this name beside Dianthus, making the former a synonym of the latter. Using the generic name Tunica, replacing Dianthus, was followed by Scopoli (1771) when he replaced even the type of Dianthus with a Tunica (as T. caryophyllus (L.) Scop.). Tunica was later used by several authors (e.g., Boissier, 1867) as a genus distinct from Dianthus; the genus in this usage is now treated as a synonym of Petrorhagia (for a detailed bibliography see Ball & Heywood, 1964)."
