Ortuño, T. & Borsch, T. 2020. Gomphrena (Amaranthaceae, Gomphrenoideae) diversified as a C4 lineage in the New World tropics with specializations in floral and inflorescence morphology, and an escape to Australia. Willdenowia, 50(3): 345-381. [CD_REF = 633794] Gomphrena vermicularis L., 1753

 

Type : Venezuela, Maracaybo, Plée s.n. (HT: P00622647).
Note: Compared to other individuals of Gomphrena vermiculare, the plants called G. albiflora deviate by longer tepals and very narrow, linear cauline leaves. The species, in addition to Blutaparon vermiculare, was accepted by Medina & al. (2008), who illustrated plants from the Caribbean coast of Venezuela that are clearly halophytes with succulent leaves. It will therefore be important to include specimens corresponding to this entity into molecular phylogeographic analyses of G. vermiculare and relatives.
