Do cuticle characters support the recognition of Alseodaphne, Nothaphoebe and Dehaasia as distinct genera?
<p>The Asian members of the Persea group are divided among the genera Alseodaphne, Apollonias, Dehaasia, Machilus, Nothaphoebe and Phoebe. A recent phylogenetic analysis has shown that Machilus and Phoebe are supported as monophyletic genera but evidence that the closely related genera Als...
