Abstract

A recent molecular phylogenetic study of Caryophylleae (Caryophyllaceae) by Madhani et al. (2018: 96) showed that “Velezia and the second group of Petrorhagia (including P. armerioides, P. alpina and P. candica)” are phylogenetically rooted in Dianthus Linnaeus (1753: 409) sensu stricto. New names and new combinations were proposed by Madhani et al. (l.c.) to reflect the revealed phylogenetic patterns in an updated nomenclatural scheme.
