Abstract
Eustoma belongs to the family Gentianaceae. The taxonomy of this genus has been studied by (1957), who distinguished the species Eustoma grandiflorum Shinn. and E. exaltatum (L.) Salisb. Taking into account morphological features of the leaves and growth, the author proposed distinguishing another species — E. barkleyi Standley. Table 1 will help obtain a clear picture of the synonyms used in the nomenclature of the genus Eustoma.
