About the Image

The tribe Malveae (subfamily Malvoideae, Malvaceae), with approximately 70 genera that grow in a variety of habitats in both tropic and temperate areas, has remarkably diverse flowers. The phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequence data revealed two large clades in the tribe in the article by Tate et al.: Phylogenetic relationships within the tribe Malveae (Malvaceae, subfamily Malvoideae) as inferred from ITS sequence data. 1. Gaya atiquipana, coastal Peru; 2. Sida cordifolia, Magdalena Valley, Colombia; 3. Iliamna bakeri, Shasta County, California, USA; 4. Dendrosida cuatrecasasii, Central Cordillera of Colombia; 5. Sidasodes colombiana, Eastern Cordillera, Colombia; 6. Nototriche pedicularifolia, Andes of Peru; 7. Tarasa humilis, Andes of Argentina; 8. Malacothamnus palmeri, Monterey County, California, USA; 9. Hoheria populnea, New Zealand; 10. Callirhoë involucrata, Travis County, Texas, USA; and 11. Sidastrum paniculatum from Ecuador.
