Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance
dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the …

We present the first phylogenomic analysis of relationships among all ten families of Liliales,
based on 75 plastid genes from 35 species in 29 genera, and 97 additional plastomes …

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of medicinal plants and
phytochemicals as potential treatments for acne vulgaris. This condition, characterized by …

Geographical variation in species richness in plant groups is determined by the interplay
between historical, evolutionary, and ecological processes. However, the processes …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America (Les, 2017) and follows a similar format by providing
a comprehensive overview of the life history, ecology, and systematics of those …

The factors driving genome size evolution in Liliaceae were examined. In particular, we
investigated whether species with larger genomes are confined to less stressful …

Tethyan plant disjunctions, including Mediterranean–African–Asian disjunctions, are thought
to be vicariant, but their temporal origin and underlying causes remain largely unknown. To …

A new species, Smilax weniae (Smilacaceae), from Southwest China, is described and
illustrated. The new species bears peltate leaves, which was previously a unique feature of …

The Smilacaceae is a cosmopolitan family consisting of 200–370 described species. The
family includes two widely accepted genera, namely Smilax and Heterosmilax. Among them …

• Premise of the study: The early Cenozoic was a key period of evolutionary radiation in
Fagaceae. The common notion is that species thriving in the modern summer‐dry climate of …
