Investigation of phylogenetic relationships within Saxifraga diversifolia complex (Saxifragaceae) based on restriction‐site associated DNA sequence markers

“…Therefore, it is demonstrated that none of S. diversifolia , S. pseudohirculus , and S. sinomontana complexes are monophyletic in view of the conclusion of this work and Yuan et al. ( 2023 ). Meanwhile, S. pseudohirculus and many members of the S. diversifolia complex were also highly accepted as being clustered in a clade in her results.…”

“…Yuan et al. ( 2023 ) reconstructed the phylogenetic relationship of sect. Ciliatae with complete chloroplasts.…”

“…Hirculoideae has recently differentiated and diverged from other subsections of Sect. Ciliatae , which were previously considered to be at the end of the evolutionary tree (Gao et al., 2015 ; Yuan et al., 2023 ; Zhang et al., 2008 ). In the work of Yuan et al.…”

“…In many of the earlier studies, whether Zhang et al (2008), Gao et al (2015) or Tkach et al (2015), their results suffered from the same absence of strong support. Yuan et al (2023) reconstructed the phylogenetic relationship of sect. Ciliatae with complete chloroplasts.…”

“…Ciliatae as delimited by Engler andIrmscher (1916/1919) and Gornall (1987) was monophyletic, in which the subsect. Hirculoideae was alonely clustered on a clade with high resolution (Gao et al, 2015;Tkach et al, 2015;Yuan et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2008). Subsect.…”
