Note:
Reveal & al. (in
Taxon
40: 336-338. 1991) proposed the conservation of
Baltimora
with a conserved type. The Committee for Spermatophyta (in
Taxon
43: 116. 1994) initially ruled that the proposed type should be considered a
neotype
but subsequently (in
Taxon
47: 863. 1998) recommended acceptance of the original proposal.
