Talk:Malveae

Tate et al. (2005) demonstrated that although the majority of genera are monophyletic two major groups are not. Unfortunately these represent the two major speciose groupings in the tribe - the Abutilon alliance and the Alcea/Malva/Lavatera group. To date these are very much works in progress and secondary sources differ in circumscriptions. Andyboorman (talk) 21:14, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

It is pretty well accepted that Malva and Lavatera are to be merged. Andyboorman (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
