The split off of Discaria nana and D. trinervis from the genus Discaria , recently made by Kellermann et al. (2005), is not accepted. The occurrence of specimens with morphological intermediacy between both species and D. chacaye , show that those species, that had been segregated into the genus Ochetophila , are closely related to the last species. Moreover, the entire margin of leaves and the petals well developed, considered synapomorphies of Ochetophila , are present in other species of Discaria . (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
