A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics
- L. Chatrou, Michael D Pirie, +7 authors M. Chase
- Biology
- 1 May 2012
The pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae is the most species-rich family of Magnoliales. Despite long-standing interest in the systematics of Annonaceae, no authoritative classification has… Expand
