Rubachia has usually been synonymized within Marlierea, which in turn is now considered to be a synonym of Myrcia (the only genus of the Myrcia group). However, the type of Rubachia is a species now placed in Plinia (Plinia spiciflora), making Rubachia a synonym of Plinia (part of the Plinia group), a fact that has been largely overlooked. The taxonomic status of Rubachia is here clarified.

Rubachia O.Berg (Myrtaceae) 是 Plinia 而不是 Myrcia 的同义词

Rubachia 通常在 Marlierea 中被称为同义词，现在又被认为是 Myrcia（Myrcia 组的唯一属）的同义词。然而，茜草属的种类是现在放置在 Plinia (Plinia spiciflora) 中的物种，这使得 Rubachia 成为 Plinia（Plinia 组的一部分）的同义词，这一事实在很大程度上被忽视了。红百合的分类地位在此阐明。
