“…Currently, the classification of Nyctaginaceae includes around ~300-400 species, distributed in ~34 genera, divided in seven tribes (e.g., Boldoeae, Bougainvilleeae, Caribeaeae, Colignonieae, Leucastereae, Nyctagineae and Pisonieae) (Douglas and Manos, 2007;Douglas and Spellenberg, 2010;Rossetto et al, 2019;Rossetto and Caraballo-Ortiz, 2020). While the tribal classification seems to be quite stable due to its recent re-assessment based on molecular data (Douglas and Spellenberg, 2010), the generic classification is undergoing new circumscriptions, as for the resurrection of earlier described genera (e.g., Ceodes and Rockia), that were segregated from the large genus Pisonia (Rossetto and Caraballo-Ortiz, 2020).…”
