Reinstatement of the genus Psorodendron and related systematic novelties as revealed from phylogenetic analyses of the tribe Amorpheae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Urrego, Paola Piñeros, Suárez-Barón, Harold, Pabón-Mora, Natalia, González, Favio (2023): Reinstatement of the genus Psorodendron and related systematic novelties as revealed from phylogenetic analyses of the tribe Amorpheae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae). Caldasia 45 (1): 49-65, DOI: 10.15446/caldasia.v45n1.96498, URL: doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v45n1.96498 ABSTRACT The legume tribe Amorpheae comprises eight genera and ca. 240 species exclusive to the New World.

We performed parsimony and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data from the nuclear gene CNGC4, the chloroplast trnK/matK genes and the nuclear ribosomal ITS regions. Our goal was to infer the generic-level phylogenetic relationships of the tribe with an expanded sampling on Dalea, a genus that comprises nearly 70 % of the species of the tribe. We corroborated that the tribe Amorpheae is formed by the Daleoid clade, comprising Dalea, Marina, and Psorothamnus, and the Amorphoid clade comprising Amorpha, Apoplanesia, Errazurizia, Eysenhardtia, and Parryella.
