Remarks

Salisbury did not provide a genus description. His reference to a description by Robert Brown (generic description in R. Brown (Prodr. 274, paragraph. 1810) validates Disporum (Brown p. 274: 'Obs. Genus proximum Uvulariæ cujus fructus examen ulterius requirit. Uvularia chinensis Ker. in Bot. Mag. 916. proprium genus constituere videtur, medium inter Uvulariam et Schelhammeram, ob perianthii foliola calcarato-saccata, stamina eorum basibus inserta simulque decidua, et ovarii loculos dispermos').
