Leptorhabdos is a monotypic genus of flowering plants, initially classified in Scrophulariaceae,[1] and now within the broomrape family Orobanchaceae.[2][3] It contains a single species, Leptorhabdos parviflora.
It thrives in steppes, rivers, and lake banks, from Caucasus and Iran to Central Asia and Himalayas.[1][2]
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of the genus name Leptorhabdos derives from the two Ancient Greek words λεπτός (leptós), meaning "fine-grained, tiny", and ῥάβδος (rhábdos), meaning "rod, wand, stick".[4][5]
The synonym name Dargeria is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the confamilial genus Gerardia. The latter name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the English botanist John Gerard.[6]
