Inflorescence of Coll. No. 2036, Besseya plantaginea |
Described by James (1825) in his Catalogue of Plants, collected between Palmer Lake and Fountain.
… V[eronica] plantaginea. N. S.? Flowers spiked, unibracteate.
Capsule nearly orbicular, dehiscent at the margin.
Radical leaves numerous and large, oval-lanceolate, stiped.
Margin crenate.
Those of the scape few, sessile, and alternate,
Spike long, dense-flowered.
This plant, so unlike in habit and appearance to the
American Species of Veronica, seems referable to no other Genus
among the Pediculariæ of Jussieu,
to which it is manifestly nearly allied.
Habitat on open plains within the Rocky Mountains;
flowering in June and July.
|
Hufford and McMahon (2004) make a strong argument for submerging Besseya back into Synthyris.
A central concern is the paraphyly of Synthyris in the face of continued recognition of Besseya as a coordinate group.
We advocate a classification that reflects our knowledge of evolutionary relationships,
especially monophyletic groups.
Thus, we consider it important that Besseya be classified as part of Synthyris
(Hufford and McMahon, 2004).
