--><p>Although <i>Eubotrys</i> sometimes is included in <i>Leucothoë</i>, morphological and molecular work (K. Waselkov and W. S. Judd 2008; K. A. Kron et al. 1999, 2002) indicated that it is actually a sister lineage to <i>Chamaedaphne</i>, rather than to <i>Leucothoë</i> in the narrow sense. Notably, the pedicel bracts are located close to the pedicel apex in <i>Eubotrys</i>, while the bracts are near the base of the pedicel in <i>Leucothoë</i>. The development of the inflorescences on twigs of the current year in autumn has apparently evolved in parallel within <i>Eubotrys</i> and <i>Leucothoë</i> in the narrow sense.</p>
