    Notes:
    • 🫂 Emendation accompanied by a proposal regarding the synonymy of the species.
    • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
