Remarks
doi:10.1002/tax.12317 – The generic name is a feminine noun formed by combining 'Felicia' and 'otis'. The first part of the name commemorates Henri Jacques-Félix (1907–2008), French botanist, who worked at P and made an enormous contribution to the understanding of the Melastomataceae of tropical Africa and Madagascar. The second part of the name is meant to signify the affinity of the new genus with Dissotis.
