Abstract

Recent studies have suggested that the closely related Neotropical genera Desmopsis Saff. and Stenanona Standl. (Annonaceae) are non-monophyletic and would be better considered as a single genus Desmopsis. The transfer of species currently circumscribed in Stenanona necessitates 14 new combinations and two new names in Desmopsis.
