Diagnosis Bopopia gen. nov. differs from other genera of Coronanthereae in its inflorescence: an axillary indeterminate thyrse with ultimate axes being pair-flowered cymes and inferior axes being indeterminate thyrses with three to five levels of branching (vs 3-flowered cymes or solitary flowers); it differs from Depanthus in floral symmetry (zygomorphy vs actinomorphy), stamen number (4 vs 5); from Negria in inserted (vs exserted) stamens, and connate (vs free) anthers; from Lenbrassia in bilobed (vs spatulate) stigma. Etymology The genus is named after the land and people of Bopope (Pŵpŵp), in the vicinity of Mt Katalupaik.
