Abstract

A history of the taxonomy of the tribe Laurencieae is given in this brief review. The taxonomic revisions that have occurred over the past 200 years are analyzed, and the current view on the species diversity of the tribe and its genera is presented. The problems in identifying the tribe’s representatives in the Far Eastern seas of Russia, which require molecular genetic methods to solve them, are revealed.
