Discussion
Species 2 (1 in the flora).
The systematic position of Canotia has been much disputed. Morphologic (M. C. Johnston 1975; H. Tobe and P. H. Raven 1993) and DNA-sequence data (M. P. Simmons et al. 2008) support placement in Celastraceae near Euonymus and Paxistima.
The other species of Canotia, C. wendtii M. C. Johnston, is restricted to Chihuahua, Mexico.
Selected References
None.
