Other Genera
editGenera with large numbers of apomictic species such as Rubus, Hieracium and Taraxacum might qualify for inclusion here.
If the proposal to sink Pavonia and related genera in Hibiscus is followed, Hibiscus would qualify. Lavateraguy (talk) 20:52, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Other genera to consider: Anthurium Polygala (if it has a lot of species and we use higher-end estimates)
EDIT: I just found out that Anthurium is here. Anyway, do you have any ideas on what to add? Caehlla (talk) 23:05, 30 January 2018 (UTC) Caehlla (talk) 23:05, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Inconsistent species numbers across articles (as of 03-23-14)
editAlthough this article states species numbers are imprecise, large differences in numbers of species listed here and the numbers quoted in the separate genus pages exist, eg Ardisia, Euphorbia, Carex etc. If consistency is desired perhaps approximate numbers should be used in this list even if this produces equal places in the rank — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.245.242 (talk) 06:58, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Discrepency regarding Euphorbia and List of the largest genera of flowering plants ]
editDiscuss here Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants#Discrepency_regarding_Euphorbia_and_List_of_the_largest_genera_of_flowering_plants. FloraWilde (talk) 18:17, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Begonia
editThe currently accepted number of species of Begonia is 1,839, which may bump this genus up a bit (depending on the current numbers of Carex and Euphorbia): http://padme.rbge.org.uk/begonia/
Hypericum
editThe genus Hypericum is generally accepted to have at least 490 species, but the description of 1-2 dozen new species within the past decade would place the genus above 500 accepted species. If there is no opposition, I will add the genus to the end of the list and update the count to 58. Cheers, Fritzmann2002 14:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
