Bot. Res. Inst. Texas VL - 12 IS - 1 SE - SYSTEMATICS DO - 10.17348/jbrit.v12.i1.910 UR - https://journals.brit.org/jbrit/article/view/910 SP - 27-67 AB - <p>As part of ongoing efforts to understand and document the flora of the southeastern United States, a number of taxonomic changes at generic, specific, and infraspecific rank are made. We also discuss and clarify the recommended taxonomy for other taxa (not requiring nomenclatural acts) and present a point of view about the practical and philosophic basis for making taxonomic changes in an allegedly well-understood flora. The genera (and families) affected are <em>Endodeca</em> (Aristolochiaceae), <em>Erigeron</em>, <em>Pityopsis</em>, and <em>Solidago</em> (Asteraceae), <em>Tillandsia</em> (Bromeliaceae), <em>Carex</em> (Cyperaceae), <em>Baptisia</em> and <em>Indigofera</em> (Fabaceae), <em>Salvia</em> and <em>Scutellaria</em> (Lamiaceae), <em>Stenanthium</em> (Melanthiaceae), <em>Epidendrum</em> (Orchidaceae), and <em>Andropogon</em>, <em>Coleataenia</em>, <em>Dichanthelium</em>, <em>Digitaria</em>, and <em>Panicum</em> (Poaceae).</p> ER -
