Reticulate evolution in the Acrolophus subgroup (Centaurea L., Compositae) from the western Mediterranean: origin and diversification of section Willkommia Blanca.

Abstract excerpt

Section Willkommia (Centaurea, Compositae) is endemic to the east-central portion of the Iberian Peninsula and northwestern Africa. The section has been included with sections Acrolophus and Phalolepis in the informal subgroup Acrolophus. We have used a molecular phylogenetic approach to test the hypothesis proposed by earlier authors that the diversification of section Willkommia involved a schizoendemic process...
