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 …

The eudicot order Malpighiales contains∼ 16000 species and is the most poorly resolved
large rosid clade. To clarify phylogenetic relationships in the order, we used maximum …

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

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

Background New powerful biogeographic methods have focused attention on long-standing
hypotheses regarding the influence of the break-up of Gondwana on the biogeography of …

Aim The flowering plant family Proteaceae is putatively of Gondwanan age, with modern and
