Taxonomic Comments
Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012) transfer Monolepis nuttalliana, as accepted by Kartesz (1994) and FNA (2003, vol. 4), to the genus Blitum as Blitum nuttallianum, based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic analysis that is in agreement with later research by Sukhorukov et al. (2018).
