In light of the above discussion I find it most reasonable to elevate Proustia vanillosma (and the very closely related P. crassinervis) to generic status, giving it the name Berylsimpsonia, after Dr. Beryl Simpson, monographer of the genus Perezia, from which Acourtia was removed. She is currently Chairman of the Department of Botany at the University of Texas, Austin and fully deserving of the honor intended. Unfortunately (or fortunately, perhaps) the name Simpsonia has already been applied to a genus of Australian palms. In many ways the personality of the honored fits her namesake, since she is tenacious in her research, scratchy when boldly encountered, and enigmatic as to philosophical, if not phyletic, perambulations.
