Abstract

Our critical re-evaluation of diagnostic characters of Anchonium DC., Oreoloma Botsch., Sterigmostemum M. Bieb., and Zerdana Boiss. on the basis of phylogenetic evidence resulted in merging these genera. Anchonium and Zerdana are synonymized with Sterigmostemum, and relevant combinations are validated. A checklist and a key for the expanded Sterigmostemum are presented. Synstemon Botsch. is found unrelated to this genus and should be transferred from the tribe Anchonieae DC. to Euclidieae DC.


Key words: Anchonium, Brassicaceae, Middle East, Oreoloma, SW and Central Asia, taxonomy, Zerdana
