The genus has been called dioecious (M. L. Fernald 1950), subdioecious (H. A. Gleason and A. Cronquist 1991), and polygamous (Xia N. H. and M. G. Gilbert 2003). The anthers and filaments in <i>P. pubera</i> are smaller on pistillate flowers, do not contain pollen, and are considered staminodes. Thus, at least this species is functionally dioecious. The polygamous condition reported for the Chinese species <i>P. edulis</i> (Wallich) A. de Candolle requires further investigation.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Pyrularia |authority=Michaux |rank=genus |parent rank=family |synonyms= |basionyms= |family=Cervantesiaceae |distribution=e;se United States;Asia. |reference=None |publication title=Fl.
