--><p>Some authors recognize two species in <i>Neslia</i>, while others recognize only <i>N. paniculata</i> with two subspecies somewhat separated geographically, though intermediates are common in areas of overlap (P. W. Ball 1961). The sole difference between them is whether the fruit apex is truncate (<i></i>subsp.<i> paniculata</i>) or apiculate [subsp. thracica (Velenovský) Bornmüller or N. apiculata Fischer, C. A. Meyer & Avé-Lallemant].</p>
