Title
Perspectives on the reclassification of taxa in the Arceuthobium campylopodum complex (Viscaceae)

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Recommendation The authors contend that the taxa of Arceuthobium series Campylopoda deserve separate species recognition.
- Recommendation Subspecies described before and after the FNA recombination of series Campylopoda taxa also deserve recognition.
- Association The reclassification of series Campylopoda taxa was not justified by the empirical evidence published before and after the FNA treatment.
- Recommendation The authors advocate continued use of the Hawksworth and Wiens classification system, with minor modifications.
