--><p>Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates a close relationship between Odontites and six other genera, of which Bartsia, Bellardia, and Euphrasia occur in the flora area (J. R. Bennett and S. Mathews 2006; J. Těšitel et al. 2010; S. Uribe-Convers and D. C. Tank 2016). Odontites has been subdivided into five genera, four of which consist of one or two geographically limited species (M. Bollinger 1996); Odontites in the broad sense, as treated here, is much more diverse and geographically widespread.</p>
