Cytology
[edit]The chromosome count of Deppea blumenaviensis is 2n = 28.[5]
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus is named in honor of Ferdinand Deppe (1794-1861), who collected the type species during a botanical expedition to Veracruz, Mexico with C.J.W. Schiede in 1828-1829. It was described by Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal and Adelbert von Chamisso in 1830[3] with Deppea erythrorhiza Schltdl. & Cham. as the type species.[1] Within the subfamily Dialypetalanthoideae it is placed in the tribe Hamelieae.[6]
