A new phylogeny and phylogenetic classification for Solanaceae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solanaceae are a globally distributed family of considerable economic importance. Recent phylogenetic work on various clades in the family has resulted in a plethora of names at various taxonomic levels. This results in a confusing set of names applied to clades at different ranks, and to the use of informal names that are often not accepted ...
