Lachnocaulon Kunth. Bogbuttons.

Key to Lachnocaulon

A genus of 6 species, herbs, of se. North America and Cuba. Based on work of Gomes de Andrade et al. (2010) and Andrino et al. (2010), Lachnocaulon is embedded within a broadly conceived Paepalanthus Martius. Lachnocaulon can be included in Paepalanthus, a course favored by Christenhusz, Faye, & Byng (2018) and Chistenhusz et al. (2020), or, alternatively, Paepalanthus can be restructured into a number of smaller genera, including Lachnocaulon, a course being followed by specialists in the group (Andrino et al. 2021; Andrino, Sano, & Nepomuceno da Costa (2021). We follow the second course, formalized by Andrino et al. (2023).
