Abstract Background and Aims Rhododendron is a species-rich and taxonomically
challenging genus due to recent adaptive radiation and frequent hybridization. A well …

Rhododendron subgenus Hymenanthes comprises> 200 highly interfertile species in SE
Asia (mainly Himalayas and southern China) plus the 10–11 members of subsection Pontica …

Aim To develop a comprehensive explanation for the biological diversity of Southeast Asia,
especially in the Wallacea and Sundaland regions. This study focuses on a group of …

Premise Classification of taxa depends on the quality of inferred phylogenies.
Rhododendron, a highly species‐rich genus (> 1156 species) of woody plants, has a highly …

The Malesian region (the floristic region incorporating the nation states of Indonesia,
Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea) has long been …

Aim Vireya rhododendrons are distinctive and easily recognizable by their general form;
however, they are virtually circumscribed geographically, predominantly distributed …

To provide a reference for researchers, achievements and progress in recent years on the
fertility of Rhododendron in China and abroad were summarized.(1) There are polyploidy in …

The species within Rhododendron sect. Schistanthe (= sect. Vireya), a taxon unique for its
tropical habitat, distinctive leaf scales, and tailed seeds, have diversified greatly in …

Many diverse plant clades possess bilaterally symmetrical flowers and specialised
pollination syndromes, suggesting that these traits may promote diversification. We …

A new classification of the Vireya group of Rhododendron, based upon their evolutionary
relationships as inferred from analysis of nuclear and plastid DNA sequence data, is …
