--><p>All species of Salpichroa except S. origanifolia are Andean. A 2018 paper by C. Carrizo García et al. indicates that Nectouxia and Salpichroa should be combined into a single genus. In that case Nectouxia would have priority, requiring name changes for over 20 Salpichroa species. A proposal is under consideration to conserve the name Salpichroa over Nectouxia (G. E. Barboza et al. 2016).</p>
