--><p><i>Bellardia trixago</i> has been included in a monospecific section of <i>Bartsia</i> in the broad sense (U. Molau 1990). Morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate a close relationship among <i>Bellardia</i>, Parentucellia, and New World species of <i>Bartsia</i> (A. D. Wolfe et al. 2005; J. R. Bennett and S. Mathews 2006; S. Uribe-Convers and D. C. Tank, http://2010.botanyconference.org/engine/search/index.php?func=detail&aid=685; A. Scheunert et al. 2012). Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that South American <i>Bartsia</i> are nested within a highly supported clade including <i>Bellardia</i> and Parentucellia (Scheunert et al.). An expanded <i>Bellardia</i> includes P. latifolia (Linnaeus) Caruel, P. viscosa (Linnaeus) Caruel, and the South American species of <i>Bartsia</i>. After this treatment had been completed, the author became aware of the alternative view presented by Uribe-Convers and Tank (2016), where all of the South American <i>Bartsia</i> taxa are transferred to the new genus Neobartsia Uribe-Convers & Tank, Parentucellia is recognized, and <i>Bellardia</i> includes only <i>B. trixago</i> and <i>B. viscosa</i>.</p>
