Abstract
We apply both morphology and molecular systematics approaches to resolve the dispute over the generic affiliation of Lamyropsis macracantha. Based on observations of herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants, as well as phylogenetic analyses based on ITS/ETS sequences, we demonstrate that Lamyropsis macracantha is a member of Cirsium.
