Other claims from this paper (13)
- Method / resource Morphological, anatomical and molecular relationships yielded congruent results.
- Observation Bauhinia was non-monophyletic in the inferred relationships.
- Observation Piliostigma was non-monophyletic in the inferred relationships.
- Observation Examined Bauhinia species had polygonal leaf epidermal shapes with straight cell walls, except B. tomentosa.
- Observation Bauhinia species had paracytic stomata.
- Observation Piliostigma species had hemiparacytic stomata.
- Method / resource The dendrogram revealed species interrelationships at a distance value of 80.
- Method / resource Bayesian analysis yielded high species resolution and posterior probability.
- Observation The strict consensus tree showed polyphyletic Bauhina divided into three major clades.
- Observation Piliostigma showed paraphyletic and polyphyletic relationships within Bauhinia with high support.
- Association B tomentosa was more closely related to Piliostigma species.
- Recommendation The results support dividing the large Bauhinia s.s group into subclades.
- Recommendation Further Bauhinieae phylogenetic work should consider more variable gene regions and broader species sampling.
