Taxonomic Comments
This is the record for the narrow concept of Dodonaea viscosa, not including D. angustifolia and D. elaeagnoides. Weakley (2023) recognizes D. viscosa, D. angustifolia, and D. elaeagnoides as distinct species. Varieties in D. viscosa were recognized by Adams (1972), but not by Kartesz (1994, 1999).
