This hypothesis is examined using a dataset including sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region and the plastidic trnL-trnF region of 39 Marchesinia accessions. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses indicate that Marchesinia robusta is nested within M. brachiata s.l. The...
