Figure S1. Dendrogram representing the relationships observed in 52 Epimedium species based on 16 EST-SSR markers. V. hexandra was used as an outgroup and the distance bar was shown on the bottom of the tree. The number nearby the branch was bootstrap values and the bootstrap value lower than 30% were not shown.
