Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Three monospecific genera (Neomonolepis, Suckleya, Teloxys) form a basal grade in Dysphanieae.
- Observation Cycloloma is nested within Dysphania.
- Observation Ancestral area reconstruction favours a widespread ancestry for Dysphanieae.
- Mechanism Relictual lineages in Asia and North America might be explained by a wide distribution across Beringia.
- Observation Simultaneous diversification of Dysphania into three major clades indicates a widespread ancestor at the crown node.
- Observation The taxonomic revision accepts four genera in Dysphanieae.
- Observation The sectional subdivision of Dysphania is revised into five sections.
