(2010), for Polycnemoideae, see Masson and Kadereit (2013), for Chenopodium and tribes of Chenopodioideae, see Hernández-Ledesma et al. (2015), for Aervoideae, see Hammer et al. (2019), for Betoideae, see Iamonico (2019), for Gomphrena and other Gomphrenoideae, see Ortuño Limarino and Borsch (2020) and for the achyranthoid subclade II, see di Vincenzo et al.
