Notes

Monotypic; San Ambrosio Island (Desventurados archipelago), Chile. Kool (2012) reported it nested within a Spergularia clade. About 60 species (Hartman & Rabeler 2005), especially diverse in the Mediterranean and temperate South America. The genus is monophyletic (Kool 2012), but infrageneric relationships are not defined.
