COMMENT

Bell et al. (2013) showed that the European populations of Sphaerocarpos texanus are genetically very distinct from the American populations, and that S. europaeus Lorb. should be used for the European species. Studies in northern African populations should be made to confirm if they also correspond to S. europaeus .

Recently, Infante et al. (2024) described a new species in the Iberian Peninsula ( Sphaerocarpos ibericus M.Infante, Luceño , Quirós-de-la-Peña, Míguez, J.Muñoz & Heras), which could also be present in Algeria.
