Libinhania

Libinhania is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Somalia and Socotra.^[2] The genus was established in 2017,^[1] as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study, which showed that a number of species endemic to Socotra, some of which had been placed in the genus Helichrysum, formed a clade that did not belong in that genus.^[3]
