Parasitaxus usta (Vieillard) De Laubenfels

Firstly described as Dacrydium ustum by Vieillard (1862), then transferred to Podocarpus usta by Brongniard and Gris (1866), identically published by the same authors in Bull. Soc. Bot. France. Following authors have changed the name without comment to Podocarpus ustus (e.g. Gray 1960), although trees generally are considered to be feminine in latin. The new genus name was coined by de Laubenfels (1972), the species was called Parasitaxus ustus. However, since Parasitaxus, like Taxus, is feminine in gender the correct spelling must be P. usta (see Webpage by Dan Nickrent).
Apart from being a gymnosperm, woody, and relatively big, Parasitaxus usta is even
more unique among heterotrophic organisms in being a parasitic and
mycoheterotrophic plant at once (Feild and Brodribb 2005)!
