Diversification and hybridization in Andinocleome (Cleomaceae)
The plant genus Andinocleome, from the South American clade of Cleomaceae, is important in studies of hybridization, species boundaries, and population genetics. Species relationships are complicated by variable morphology, overlapping geographic distributions, and hypothesized hybridization. We used target sequence capture and the Angiosperms353 probe set to perform a phylogenetic study of Andinocleome. We resolve species boundaries and identify evidence of hybridization and population structuring.
