Phylogeny of Anisopappus with species circumscriptions revisited (Asteraceae: Athroismeae)
Anisopappus (Asteraceae: Athroismeae) is a genus with its main distribution in Africa (one species also in Asia), currently considered to include around 21 species. A molecular phylogenetic study of Anisopappus is presented for the first time, based on plastid (ndhF, trnL‐trnF, trnQ‐rps16) and nuclear (ETS, ITS) data. Anisopappus is confirmed...Bengtson, Annika ; Osborne, Jo ; Anderberg, Arne A.
