Revisio Generum Plantarum, also known by its standardbotanical abbreviationRevis. Gen. Pl., is a botanictreatise byOtto Kuntze. It waspublished in three volumes; the first two of these appeared in 1891, and the third was published in two parts in 1893 and 1898.
In the first two volumes, Kuntze described his entire collection ofspecimens from hisvoyage around theworld, comprising around 7,700 specimens. In doing so, however, he took the opportunity to introduce hisnovel approach toplantnomenclature, completely revising the nomenclature of many planttaxa. This came as a surprise to mostbotanists, who rejected or deliberately ignored the work. His third volume replied to much of the criticism leveled against his novel system, but it was still not accepted, and Kuntze remained in dispute with the botanicalcommunity over it for the rest of this life.
