Molecular phylogenetics of Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae [PDF]
, 2001 Melastomataceae are among the most abundant and diversified groups of plants throughout the tropics, but their intrafamily relationships and morphological evolution are poorly understood. Here we report the results of parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML)
