Molecular Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of <i>Byrsonima</i> (Malpighiaceae) Corroborates the Mid-Miocene Origins of Neotropical Savannas

We present a dated and calibrated molecular phylogeny for one of the most characteristic genera of Neotropical savannas, <i>Byrsonima</i> (Malpighiaceae), based on the ETS, ITS, and <i>psbA-trnH</i> markers. We sampled 33 species of <i>Byrsonima</i> and four speci...
