The uncertainty has centered upon whether <i>Jovibarba</i> should be treated as a section of <i>Sempervivum</i> or as a genus. Recent work has shown that the two are closely related (M. E. Mort et al. 2001). J. Parnell and C. Favarger (1992) maintained <i>Jovibarba</i> at the generic level; H. ’t Hart et al. (2003) treated it at sectional rank within <i>Sempervivum</i>. R. C. H. J. van Ham and ’t Hart (1998) did not include any accessions of <i>Jovibarba</i> in their study of the Crassulaceae using chloroplast DNA.</p><!-- --><p>Taxa assigned to <i>Jovibarba</i> generally have been segregated from <i>Sempervivum</i> based on: (1) the erect petals in <i>Jovibarba</i> versus reflexed petals in <i>Sempervivum</i>; (2) 6(–7)-merous flowers in <i>Jovibarba</i> versus 8–16-merous flowers in <i>Sempervivum</i>; (3) fimbrillate petals in <i>Jovibarba</i> versus entire petals in <i>Sempervivum</i>. J. Parnell (1991) examined pollen morphology and ultrastructure and found significant differences between <i>Jovibarba</i> and <i>Sempervivum</i> and concluded that these palynological differences supported retention of <i>Jovibarba</i> at the generic level. H. ’t Hart et al. (2003) discussed their decision to submerge <i>Jovibarba</i> into <i>Sempervivum</i> and discounted the floral morphology differences as being insignificant relative to similarities. They did not discuss, or cite, the palynological differences presented by Parnell, which are congruent with the character-state differences in floral morphology, and support segregation of <i>Jovibarba</i> from <i>Sempervivum</i>.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Jovibarba |author=Richard A.
