Taxonomic Comments
Kartesz (1994 and 1999), and Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2009) recognize Pyrola picta with P. aphylla, and P. dentata as synonyms. Jolles and Wolfe (2012) examined genetic differences in the Pyrola picta species complex and "recommend that three taxa, P. picta, P. dentata, and P. aphylla be recognized as distinct, phylogenetic species with divergent, and largely independent, evolutionary histories." In addition, Jolles and Wolfe (2012) identify a fourth taxon that "likely warrants species status, but requires further study of morphology and a better knowledge of its geographic range limits."
