Other claims from this paper (4)
- Recommendation Verdcourt's varieties spathulata and major should be recognized as subspecies of Virectaria major.
- Observation The genus Virectaria is excluded from the Hedyotideae and Ophiorrhizeae of subfamily Rubioideae.
- Observation No genus of the Sabiceeae matches Virectaria with respect to pollen, fruit, flower and growth habit.
- Observation Exclusion of Virectaria from Rubioideae and a position near the Sabiceeae is supported by lack of raphides, seed anatomy, placentation, stipule morphology and molecular evidence.
