Remarks
The genus name Cleistogenes coincides with “cleistogenes”, the English plural of a technical term in use at the time of publication. Keng’s name is validly published because the technical term is not Latin. Kengia Packer, published as a replacement name for Cleistogenes, is superfluous and illegitimate (see Shenzhen Code Art. 20 Ex. 5)
