Plantaginaceae
Publ. & Syn.Excluded: Pentstemon (P. gormani).
NotesMolecular cladistic evidence (Olmstead et al. 2001) forced Callitrichaceae, Hippuridaceae, and a major part of the traditional Scrophulariaceae to be merged into Veronicaceae (now Plantaginaceae). See also Stevens et al. (2001 onwards). We accept this merger.
Chromosomes40 (4x). - Europe, Far East (N), Canada, Greenland. - Numerous reports.
Not included: Early European reports of 2n = 36 might be slight miscounts or based on x = 9.
