Korotkova N., Zabel L., Quandt D., Barthlott W., A phylogenetic analysis of Pfeiffera and the reinstatement of Lymanbensonia as an independently evolved lineage of epiphytic Cactaceae within a new tribe Lymanbensonieae, Willdenowia, 2010, 40(2):151-172, doi: 10.3372/wi.40.40201
Analyses of eight plastid regions separate the former Pfeiffera into distinct lineages and indicate a relationship between Lymanbensonia and Calymmanthium. The paper includes comparative stem, flower and fruit descriptions, a key to six Pfeiffera species and new name combinations. It discusses variation in Pfeiffera boliviana and method-dependent differences in the inferred relationship of P. miyagawae.
