Systematic botany, flora of Cuba, Amaranthaceae, halophytic plants, alternative cropsAbstract
Context: The research is framed in the interest of some producers in economically exploiting native halophytic plants that grow spontaneously in Cuban salt marshes.
Aim: To update the taxonomy and nomenclature of Cuban representatives of Salicornioideae Dumortier, in light of phylogenetic relationships revealed to date, and to assess the implications this will have for managing the information needed for applied research.
Methods: From the theoretical level of knowledge, the historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, and inductive-deductive methods were used to evaluate empirical data from document analysis.
Results: Changes in the systematics of Cuban representatives of Salicornioideae Dumortier have been influenced regarding their family placement, generic delimitation, and the nomenclature of one of the taxa.
Conclusions: According to the updated taxonomic system, these plants belong to the family Amaranthaceae A. L. de Jussieu, subfamily Salicornioideae Dumortier, and the genus Salicornia L., with the species S. bigelovii Torr. and S. ambigua Michx. represented in Cuba.
