 | | Melastome androecium and fruit evolution are little understood due to controversial hypotheses about family circumscription and intra-family relationships. |
 | | Our poster presents a phylogenetic hypothesis for Melastomataceae and their closest relatives, Memecylaceae, Crypteroniaceae, Alzateaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, Oliniaceae, and Penaeaceae, based on combined rbcL, ndhF, and rpl16 sequences and parsimony, minimum evolution, and maximum likelihood reconstructions. |
 | | Key words: Alzateaceae, Crypteroniaceae, Melastomataceae, Memecylaceae, Oliniaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae |
