Spenceria ramalana
''Spenceria ramalana'' is the lone species in the plant genus ''Spenceria'', known by two varieties.〔 ''S. ramalana'' grows from 18–32 cm. tall, and puts out yellow flowers from July through August; bearing fruit (yellowish-brown achenes) from September to October.〔 The Chinese name, ''ma ti huang'' (),〔 can be translated to mean "yellow horseshoe".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Spenceria ramalana'' at Flora of China, as translated through GoogleTranslate )〕
==Etymology==
Henry Trimen, both the genus, and binomial authority of ''Spenceria'', and ''S. ramalana'', respectively, gave an explanation of how he arrived at these names: the genus name was given in honor of Trimen's friend, and fellow botanist, Spencer Moore, who was employed at Kew Herbarium. Trimen thought about choosing a name commemorating the collector of the species, one Captain Gill, R.E., but decided against it, as there already was a genus ''Gilia'' (Polemoniaceae), and he wished to avoid, in his words, "the formation of another of precisely similar sound." 〔One can find the cited quotations on a photo of the page from the journal, The remainder of the text for ''S. ramalana'' can be found on the (next page ); and Trimen's sketch on the (final page ).〕 As the species was collected from a mountain named Ra-Ma-La,〔 it is likely that the specific epithet ''"ramalana"'' was chosen as a toponym (the suffix ''"-ana"'' meaning "belonging to", hence "from Ra-Ma-La").
