Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...
