NOTES
According to Cardinal-McTeague et al. (2016) and Tamboli et al. (2018), Capparis L. s.s. ( Capparis sect. Eucapparis DC. , including type) is an Old World taxon. All New World species (“NW capparoids”) form three or more distinct clades, among which two are clearly monophyletic ( Cynophalla J.Presl and Crateva L.). The phylogenetic status of the remaining clades is still unclear. If they are merged (the conclusion anticipated by Christenhusz et al. 2018), then the correct name would be Morisonia L. However , we think this too speculative and retain the genera Calanthea , Capparidastrum , Neocalyptrocalyx and Preslianthus .
