The minimum-spanning tree (MST, a) and the single most parsimonious tree (MPT, b) of 50 steps (CI = 0.96 and RI = 0.99) found in the analysis of matK data (1423 characters of which 19 were parsimony informative) from selected accessions of the Ranunculus alpestris group (see Appendix 1). Numbers in MST indicate how many individuals were found in the respective group. Numbers above branches in MPT are maximum-parsimony bootstrap (1000 replicates) percentages. The heuristic tree was rooted with R. crenatus, R. parnassifolius and R. aconitifolius as outgroup. The grey arrow indicates a synapomorphic 6 bp deletion in the trnK intron. The black arrow indicates the split between two major haplotype families within the Ranunculus alpestris group estimated to have happened c. 2.3 MYA.
