The aim of the present study was to infer a substantially larger, more evenly sampled,
phylogenetic tree for Caryophyllaceae in order to more confidently resolve relationships …

The systematization of species in plant taxonomy based on the phylogenetic relationships
among them are of utmost importance and also very challenging in large genera. In those …

Stellaria species are common herbs, preferred humid mountainously slopes, but some grew
in desert. Main center of diversification for Stellaria is Eurasia, with a center of distribution in …

Palynological characters of 18 species belonging to seven genera of the traditional
subfamily Alsinoideae including Arenaria, Cerastium, Eremogone, Lepyrodiclis, Minuartia …

Accurate identification of Arctic plant species is critical for understanding potential climate-
induced changes in their diversity and distributions. To facilitate rapid identification we …

Premise of research. One of the most conspicuous aspects of island floras is the relatively
high proportion of woody species. Often, but not always, these woody species have …
