All are briefly characterised, their distribution and relationships are discussed, and a key for their determination is provided. One new subsection is described, P. subsect. Globosa. Three new combinations are established, P. meiklei (Kadereit) M. V. Agab., P. davisii (Kadereit) M. V. Agab., and P. subsect. Argemonidium (Spach) M. V. Agab.
