“…-States for nine morphological and biogeographical characters repre senting vegetative morphology (habit, leaf shape, trichomes), reproductive morphology (corolla tube, calyx, nutlet), and bio geography (distribution pattern) were reconstructed using Mes quite v.2.7.1 (Maddison & Maddison, 2009). All morphological characters were scored based on examination of herbarium material (CDBI, E, K, KUN, MO, PE), as well as on our previ ous experience working with this group (Xiang & al., , 2010(Xiang & al., , 2012b(Xiang & al., , 2013. Character optimization was performed on the Bayesian consensus tree using a parsimony model with the unordered states assumption as implemented in Mesquite.…”
