--><p>Both varieties of <i>Turnera ulmifolia</i> are homostylous with <i></i></i>var.<i><i> acuta</i> (Sprengel) Urban occurring in Bermuda and the West Indies. Both are used as medicinal plants in the West Indies.</p><!--
--><p>I. Urban (1883) described 12 varieties in <i>Turnera ulmifolia</i>. Experimental studies have demonstrated that this species as he circumscribed it is a polyploid complex in which most of the taxa deserve species status (M. M. Arbo and Aveliano Fernández 1987; Fernández 1997; Fernández and Arbo 2000; J. S. Shore and S. C. H. Barrett 1985; V. G. Solís Neffa and Fernández 2000).</p>
