Infrageneric entities in the genera of Loasaceae

This page is still in construction. Only the infrageneric entities of the genera of Loasoideae are so far included.



 
Aosa  the combinations of the series formerly under Loasa and now placed in Aosa have not been formalized: The relationships between the species are insufficiently understood and the genus is small enough not to urgently require a formal infrageneric taxonomy.

Loasa  the largely Chilean genus has not been re-investigated since 1900 and is in urgent need of revision. Only some of the series described by Urban & Gilg 1900 are probably natural.

Nasa  the series formerly described under Loasa and now placed in Nasa have not been combined formally: Most of the series are probably unnatural and many of the new taxa can not be placed into any of the existing entities. A natural subdivision of the genus Nasa can not at the moment be accomplished.
(Nasa) Loasa sect. Loasa ser. Grandiflorae Urb. & Gilg, Nova Acta Acad. Caes. Leop.-Carol. German. Nat. Cur. 76: 192. 1900. - Type species (designated in Weigend 1997c: 214): L. grandiflora Desr. º Nasa grandiflora (Desr.) Weigend
