TLDR
The first morphology-based evolutionary hypothesis for Tradescantia is presented, based on the total evidence of the present morphological phylogeny, in accordance to the previously published molecular data.Abstract:
Throughout the years, three infrageneric classifications were proposed for Tradescantia along with several informal groups and species complexes. The current infrageneric classification accepts 12 sections - with T. sect. Tradescantia being further divided into four series - and assimilates many concepts adopted by previous authors. Recent molecular-based phylogenetic studies indicate that the currently accepted sections might not represent monophyletic groups within Tradescantia. Based on newly gathered morphological data on the group, complemented with available micromorphological, cytological and phytochemical data, I present the first morphology-based evolutionary hypothesis for Tradescantia. Furthermore, I reduce subtribe Thyrsantheminae to a synonym of subtribe Tradescantiinae, and propose a new infrageneric classification for Tradescantia, based on the total evidence of the present morphological phylogeny, in accordance to the previously published molecular data.read more

Total evidence phylogeny of Pontederiaceae (Commelinales) sheds light on the necessity of its recircumscription and synopsis of Pontederia L.
TL;DR: A total evidence phylogeny for Pontederiaceae is presented based on new morphological and previously published molecular data, which led to Pontederia to be re-circumscribe to include Monochoria, Pontederias.

Insights into phylogenetic relationships and genome evolution of subfamily Commelinoideae (Commelinaceae Mirb.) inferred from complete chloroplast genomes.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyse using 77 chloroplast protein coding genes with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and the Bayesian inference suggest that Palisota connected with tribe Commelineae with high support values, differ from recent classification of Commelinaceae.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated relationships across families and genera of Commelinales, how well off-target plastid data integrate with other plastide-based data sets, and how the novel inferences coincide with the infra-familial classification.

Branch support and tree stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the extra length needed to lose a branch in the consensus of near-most parsimonious trees based on the original data, as opposed to the data perturbation used in the bootstrap procedure.
