Diversification of myco-heterotrophic angiosperms: evidence from Burmanniaceae. [PDF]
, 2008 Background - Myco-heterotrophy evolved independently several times during angiosperm evolution. Although many species of myco-heterotrophic plants are highly endemic and long-distance dispersal seems unlikely, some genera are widely dispersed and have ...
