A large‐scale phylogeny of the lycophyte genus Selaginella(Selaginellaceae: Lycopodiopsida) based on plastid and nuclear loci
Abstract The lycophyte genus Selaginella alone constitutes the family Selaginellaceae, the largest of the lycophyte families. The genus is estimated to contain 700–800 species distributed on all continents except Antarctica, with highest species diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. The mon...
