Abstract Myrteae (c. 2500 species; 51 genera) is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and an
ecologically important groups of angiosperms in the Neotropics. Systematic relationships in …

To clarify relationships within the predominantly Neotropical and exclusively fleshy‐fruited
Myrteae (49 genera and c. 2,500 species), we provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for …

The angiosperm family Myrtaceae has extant and fossil taxa from all southern continents
and is assumed to be of Gondwanan origin. Many modern groups contain sister taxa that …

We examine the eudicot order Myrtales, a clade with strong Gondwanan representation for
most of its families. Although previous phylogenetic studies greatly improved our …

Myrtaceae is one of the richest families in the Atlantic Forest, a priority biodiversity hotspot
that continues to be highly threatened, subject to rapid urbanisation and high levels of …

Some of the most interesting but still most contentious disjunct biogeographical distributions
involve Southern Hemisphere tropical and warm temperate families. The PHMV clade of …

Abstract Background and Aims The angiosperm family Myrtaceae comprises 17 tribes with
more than half of the estimated 5500 species being referred to the fleshy-fruited and …

A first phylogenetic hypothesis of Neotropical Eugenia, including associated genera and
species from Africa and the Pacific was produced using DNA sequence data from the …

Abstract Eugenia, comprising ca. 1100 species, is the largest genus of Neotropical
Myrtaceae. Eugenia sect. Umbellatae (formerly referred to as “clade 9”) is the most speciose …

Cladistic analyses are presented of matK sequence data as well as a nonmolecular
database for an identical set of exemplar species chosen to represent the core genera or …
