Figure 1.

Phylogenetic hypotheses for genus Pinus . Alternate placements (indicated by dashed lines) of subsections Contortae and Krempfianae, as well as the clade consisting of Pinus merkusii and P. latteri are shown. The most common plastid-based resolution of these groups is indicated by gray shading. Tree topology and relative branch lengths reflective of data from Gernandt et al. [42], Parks et al. [31] and this study.
