--><p>Until recently, <i>Bartsia</i> included 49 species distributed in North America, South America, Eurasia, and Africa (U. Molau 1990). However, phylogenetic analyses of nuclear and chloroplast genes, obtained using both traditional and high-throughput sequencing, indicate that <i>Bartsia</i> so circumscribed is polyphyletic (S. Uribe-Convers and D. C. Tank 2015, 2016; Uribe-Convers et al. 2016). The type species, <i>B. alpina</i>, is recovered on a branch with no other species of <i>Bartsia</i>; therefore, <i>Bartsia</i> is herein treated as monospecific following Uribe-Convers and Tank (2016). The remaining species of <i>Bartsia</i> have been placed in <i>Bellardia</i>, Hedbergia Molau, and a new South American genus, Neobartsia Uribe-Convers & Tank. Of these, only <i>Bellardia</i> occurs in the flora area.</p>
