Abstract Soroseris, Stebbinsia, and Syncalathium are three genera of the sunflower family
(Asteraceae) with restricted distributions on high screes of the Tibetan Plateau. We present a …

Abstract A new Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains endemic genus, Parasyncalathium JW
Zhang, Boufford & H. Sun (Asteraceae, Cichorieae, Lactucinae) is described …

All taxa endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are hypothesized to have originated in situ or
from immediately adjacent areas because of the relatively recent formation of the plateau …

Abstract The Chinese endemic Faberia (Asteraceae: Cichorieae) is imperfectly understood:
its generic status, circumscription, and subtribal affiliation have long been in dispute. Here …

The taxonomic treatment within the unigeneric tribe Yinshanieae (Brassicaceae) is
controversial, owing to differences in generic delimitation applied to its species. In this study …

Abstract Subtribe Scorzonerinae of tribe Lactuceae (Asteraceae: Cichorioideae) appears to
be well supported as monophyletic; however, generic circumscription and relationships …

The effects of rapid, recent uplift of the Hengduan Mountains on evolution and diversification
of young floristic lineages still remain unclear. Here, we investigate diversification of three …

lettuce alliance (Cichorieae subtribe Lactucinae of the sunflower family) in its SW Asia …

Nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and chloroplast trnL intron and trnL/trnF
spacer and matK sequences were used from 86 accessions to assess relationships among …

The first comprehensive molecular phylogenetic reconstruction of the Cichorieae subtribe
