Taxonomic remark Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that Bacciger needs a taxonomic revision or that both Baccigeroides and Pseudobacciger should be synonymized with Bacciger. However, both
hypotheses are premature, and additional taxon sampling is needed to adequately test the monophyly of Bacciger, Baccigeroides, and Pseudobacciger. [details]
