Amaranthaceae, Systematic botany, flora of Cuba, alternative crops, halophytic plantsAbstract
Context: The research is part of the interest of some producers to economically exploit native halophyte plants that grow spontaneously in the Cuban salt flats.
Objective: Update the taxonomy and nomenclature of the Cuban representatives of Salicornioideae Dumortier, in light of phylogenetic relationships revealed to date, as well as assess the implications that all this will have for the management of information needed for applied research.
Methods: On the theoretical level of knowledge, historical-logical, analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive methods were used to assess empirical data from documentary analysis.
Results: Changes in the systematics of the Cuban plants of Salicornioideae Dumortier in relation to their location in family, the generic delimitation and the nomenclature of one of the taxa, have been stablished.
Conclusions: According to the updated taxonomic system, these plants belong to the family Amaranthaceae A. L. de Jussieu, subfamily Salicornioideae Dumortier and genus Salicornia L., of which the species S. bigelovii Torr and S. ambigua Michx. are represented in Cuba.
