. Until recently, there were 7 known species to exist within the genus ''Nashia''.Marx, H. E., et al. (2010)
A molecular phylogeny and classification of Verbenaceae.
''American Journal of Botany'' 97(10), 1647-63. However, the seven species placed in the genus ''Nashia'' were revised, based on the near totality of the (scant) material found in the world's herbaria. A morphological analysis of, in particular, the calyx and fruit reveals the heterogeneity of the genus. As a result, ''Nashia'' was reduced to its single original species, ''N. inaquensis'', described from Great Inagua, Bahamas (where it's considered to have been introduced), and recently found in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (St. Croix). ''N. Spinifera'', of Hispaniola, was placed in the genus ''Isidroa'', a monotypic new genus. The five Cuban endemics, plus two newly described here, make up the new genus ''Diphyllocalyx'', formerly ''Lippia sect. Diphllocalyx'' of Grisebach. Species include: *''
