Note: Reveal & al. (in Taxon 40: 336-338. 1991) proposed the conservation of Baltimora with a conserved type. The Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 43: 116. 1994) initially ruled that the proposed type should be considered a neotype but subsequently (in Taxon 47: 863. 1998) recommended acceptance of the original proposal.
