Fig. 6.—

Phylogenetic tree obtained from ML analyses of the concatenated mitochondrial gene matrix. The genus label Cynomorium on the right refers to the placement of 26 genes from the Italian plant. The colored dots mark multiple copies of the respective gene; the two yellow diamonds mark a gene acquired by HGT, of which one native copy was included in the concatenated matrix; the single yellow square marks the rps3 of a Chinese accession (see text).
