Section is synonymized with section , and the species from outside of North America that had been placed into these two sections are shown to belong in other clades within the genus. As circumscribed here, section is a well-supported clade of annual herbs and subshrubs that ranges from central Mexico to the eastern United States. A new combination, , is made.
