TL;DR: The phylogenetic structure recovered in this study for subfamily Apioideae will lay the foundation for future investigations of evolutionary patterns of morphological characters and biogeography and provide a framework for taxonomic revisions.

TL;DR: The Hengduan Mountains of the Sino-Himalayas are rich in endemic species of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae and to ascertain their higher-level phylogenetic placements within the subfamily, 106 accessions were examined including the Chinese endemic genera Changium, Cyclorhiza, Notopterygium, Nothosmyrnium, and Sinolimprichtia.

TL;DR: The ITS sequence can be used for the identification of P. praeruptorum and to distinguish it from common substitutes and adulterants and almost all species were well resolved, and successfully identified on the NJ tree.

TL;DR: A molecular phylogenetic study with extensive sampling comprising 26 ingroup and 7 closely related taxa of the northern temperate genus Pyrola L. is presented, adding substantially to the authors' understanding of relationships within this diverse group and calling for taxonomic changes.

TL;DR: The cool, high-altitude habitats of many Pyrola species and the fact that diversification in the genus coincided with global cooling from the late Miocene onwards fits a hypothesis of pre-adaptation to become circumboreal within this group.
