Lysimachia in the Myrsinaceae Formally Lysimachia was listed at the UBCBG in Primulaceae. GRIN (Germplasm Resources Information Network) and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website list the genus in Myrsinaceae. A number of other sources still list it in Primulaceae including IPNI (International Plant Names Index) as well as the Flora of China. UBCBG will recognize the genus as part of Myrsinaceae. Name changes are recorded in our plant records; however, labeling of individual plants may not reflect these changes until the completion of a subsequent inventory. Raakel
Ditto for Cyclamen, Anagallis, Trientalis and a few other genera. The relevant reference is: Källersjö, M., Bergqvist, G. & Anderberg, A. A. (2000). Generic realignment in primuloid families of the Ericales s. l.: a phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequences from three chloroplast genes and morphology. Amer. J. Bot. 87: 1325–1341.
Accessions of Cyclamen, Anagallis, Trientalis are now listed under the family Myrsinaceae at the UBC Botanical Garden.
No, Dodecatheon remains in Primulaceae. There is currently debate if Dodecatheon should be subsumed into Primula. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genform.pl UBCBG has not made that change.
