Huberopappus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1] It only contains one species, Huberopappus maigualidae.[2]
The genus name of Huberopappus is in honour of Otto Huber (b. 1944), an Italian ecologist known for his work on the botany, phytogeography and conservation of the neotropics.[3] The Latin specific epithet of maigualidae refers to Sierra de Maigualida in Guiana Shield, southern Venezuela.[4]
Both species and genus were first described and published in 1992.[5]
