Hansen, H. V. 1988. A taxonomic revision of the genera Gerbera sect. Isanthus, Leibnitzia (in Asia), and Uechrrirzia (Compositae, Mutisieae). ‐ Nord. J. Bot. 8: 61–76. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X. The Asiatic part of Compositae tribe Mutisieae subtribe Mutisiinae scapose group is revised. It includes one section of the genus Gerbera , sect. Isanthus with 6 species: G. maxima, G. raphanifolia, G. delavayi, G. henryi, G. nivea , and G. gossypina , the genus Leibnitzia with 4 species, L. anandria, L. knorringiana, L. nepalensis , and L. ruficoma , and the genus Uechtrirzia with 3 species, U. kokanica, U. armena , and U. lacei . The species are mainly distributed in the Himalaya Region and W. China (Yunnan), but some occur in S. USSR, and L. anandria is widespread; Leibnitzia probably also occurs in Central America with 2 endemic species. A distribution map showing the Asiatic range of Gerbera piloselloides (sect. Piloselloides ) is presented.
