Asparagales, the largest monocot order, is renowned for its ecological, economic, and
medicinal significance. Here, we leverage transcriptome data from 455 Asparagales species …

Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting
signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However …

Aim Palaeoendemics are clades that are ancient but geographically restricted, often
because they have been selected against in other areas. Ecological similarities among …

Aim We sought to understand the variables that limit the distribution range of a clade (here
the danthonioid grasses). We tested time, area of origin, habitat suitability, disjunction width …

This paper provides an up‐to‐date linear sequence of monocot families and genera
(excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) based on current phylogenetic evidence. The …

We studied the variation in the pollinarium and pistil of Epidendroideae and reconstructed
the ancestral states of the characters (pollinia number, pollinium orientation, pollinium with …

Background The monocot family Hypoxidaceae consists of nine genera with nearly 200
species. They occur mostly in the Southern Hemisphere with only a few species in the …

Angiosperms constitute the most diverse lineage of higher plants and are represented by ca.
300,000 living species that dominate the vegetation of terrestrial ecosystems. Number and …

The Curculigo brevifolia resurrected here based on morphological, cytological, and
molecular phylogenetic analyses. Curculigo brevifolia morphologically resembles C …

Abstract The astelioid families (Asteliaceae, Blandfordiaceae, Boryaceae, Hypoxidaceae,
and Lanariaceae) have centers of diversity in Australasia and temperate Africa, with …
