Hedberg, O. 1995. Studies in the genus Polycarpaea (Caryophyllaceae) in Ethiopia. ‐Nord. J. Bot. 15: 513–517. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X. A case study is presented of a small critical group of Polycarpaea species in Ethiopia, comprising P. eriantha, P. corymbosa and P. linearifolia . Absence of clear discontinuities in individual features between the three species concerned invited the lumping of them, but studies of the integrated variation in several taxonomic features support their taxonomic independence.
