Relationships of Myrtaceae inferred from the Bayesian analysis of the concatenated ITS and plastid sequence data. Majority rule consensus topology, branch lengths proportional to the inferred number of changes along that branch. Dashed branches have a PP ≤ 0·95, PP values between 0·8 and 0·95 are indicated adjacent to the branch. Otherwise the PP = 1·0. Subfamilies and tribal groups follow Wilson et al. (2005), and the family Myrtaceae, subfamily Myrtoideae and BKMMST clade (this study) are indicated. Numbered nodes refer to fossil calibrations used for the molecular dating analyses: 1, Myrtaceae stem; 2, Eucalypteae stem; 3, Myrteae stem (BKMMST clade); 4, Metrosidereae; 5, Kanieae (refer to Table 1).
