Resurrection of the genus Aphyllon for New World broomrapes (Orobanche s.l., Orobanchaceae).

ABSTRACT: Recent phylogenetic studies support a monophyletic clade of New World broomrapes (Orobanche sects. Gymnocaulis and Nothaphyllon) sister to the Old World genus Phelipanche. I place the New World taxa in the genus Aphyllon, propose 21 new combinations, and provide a list of currently accepted taxa.
