Phylogenomics confirm the monophyly of Guzmania (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae) and provide evidence regarding alternative hybridization scenarios involving G. monostachia.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: We present a phylogenomic framework to clarify the evolutionary origin of Guzmania within the broader Tillandsioideae. The genus represents ~15% of extant diversity in Tillandsioideae and includes the widespread G. monostachia, whose distribution spans northern South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and southern Florida. Populations of G. monostachia have been in decline recently due to habitat...
