ResumoIn 1803 Michaux5 described three related species, for which he erected the genus Anychia, the name a contracted derivative of Paronychia. Two of these species, A. argyrocoma and A. herniarioides, were transferred by Nuttall to Paronychia in 1818,6 but the other species, A. dichotoma, remained distinct for a much longer period. Since the name dichotoma was already occupied in Paronychia, and since what was apparently the same plant had been named Quena canadensis by Linnaeus, this name was transferred to Paronychia by Wood in 1861,7 although the transfer was not generally accepted until after Fernald's treatise in 1936.8
