An overview on studies of species complexes in Solanaceae

Revisiting Metternichia (Solanaceae) Through an Integrative Approach: A Monotypic Genus?

“…2400 species and 96 genera that have a notable relevance in South American flora (Barboza et al 2016; Dupin et al 2017). Souza et al (2023b) recently published a review on species complexes in Solanaceae, discussing the most used study approaches and studied taxonomic groups, as well as future research opportunities. Many of Solanaceae genera, such as Capsicum L. (Albrecht et al 2012; Thul et al 2012; Barboza et al 2022), Nicotiana L. (Chase et al 2022; Teixeira et al 2022), and Solanum L. (Ames et al 2008; Raduski and Igić 2021), have great taxonomic complexity and species complexes yet to be studied.…”
