“ Stenandrium tuberosum View in CoL complex”
DISCUSSION.— The Stenandrium tuberosum complex comprises a variable group of small, acaulescent herbs. Because there is no comprehensive treatment of the West Indian taxa within the S. tuberosum complex, we feel unable to construct an adequate key based on the available literature and our review of limited specimens. Several authors have questioned the recognition of many taxa within this complex. The S. tuberosum complex requires further study to determine the number of taxa worthy of recognition, their ranks, and the characters that delimit them. Identification keys have been provided for Cuba (León and Alain 1957; Dietrich 1983) and the Bahamas (Correll and Correll 1982).
