Comments: a rejected (nom. rej.), heterotypic synonym (Melbourne ICN Art. 14.4 & App. III) of Veratrum L., nom. cons.\; Thunberg (Diss. Melanthio 1797) was the first to merge Veratrum and Melanthium, adopting Melanthium, so this name has priority if the two are synonymized without conservation of Veratrum
