--><p><i>Holozonia</i> has been treated as congeneric with <i>Hemizonia</i> and with <i>Lagophylla</i>. Like <i>Lagophylla</i>, <i>Holozonia</i> has functionally staminate disc florets, cup-shaped glands, and obcompressed cypselae, each completely or mostly invested by a phyllary. Additional morphologic considerations and biosystematic studies led W. C. Thompson (1983) to reject the hypothesis of a close relationship between <i>Holozonia</i> and <i>Lagophylla</i>. Molecular phylogenetic data are in keeping with a closer relationship of <i>Holozonia</i> to other continental tarweeds with white corollas and x = 14 (i.e., <i>Blepharizonia</i> and <i>Hemizonia</i>), than to <i>Lagophylla</i> (S. Carlquist et al. 2003).</p>
