Genus vastum et insigne, a varijs auctoribus in sectiones v, genera plura variis modis dividitur. 
Insigniora sunt sequentia. : 
Ketinia, Endl. (Ketmia, Cremontia, et Sabdarifa, DC.), pro typo sumitur, braceteolis integris, 
ealyee ó-fido non inflato, seminibus haud lanatis. Species numerose per totam ditionem generis 
disperse. : P 
Fürcaria, DC., vix differt bracteis plerumque apice furcatis v. foliaceo-appendiculatis. Species - 
plurimse, pilis rigidis sepius hispid:e, in regionibus tropieis utriusque orbis crescentes.
