Molecular phylogenetic analyses.
Plastome sequences of 64 common proteins present from 40 species (Ageratina adenophora, Anaphalis sinica, Atractylodes chinensis, Atractylodes lancea, Atractylodes macrocephal, Aztecaster matudae, Baccharis genistelloides, Carthamus tinctorius, Centaurea diffusa, Chrysanthemum indicum, Conyza bonariensis, Cynara baetica, Cynara cornigera, Diplostephium alveolatum, Echinacea angustifolia, Eclipta prostrata, Floscaldasia hypsophila, Galinsoga quadriradiata, Guizotia abyssinica, Helianthus annuus, Heterothalamus alienus, Hinterhubera ericoides, Jacobaea vulgaris, Lactuca sativa, Laennecia sophiifolia, Laestadia muscicola, Lagenophora cuchumatanica, Leontopodium leiolepis, Llerasia caucana, Menyanthes trifoliate, Mikania micrantha, Oritrophium peruvianum, Parastrephia quadrangularis, Pericallis hybrida, Praxelis clematidea, Saussurea chabyoungsanica, Scaevola taccada, Soliva sessilis, Taraxacum amplum, and Westoniella kohkemperi) were used to construct the phylogenetic tree with the maximum likelihood method implemented in the RAxML. Two taxa, namely, Menyanthes trifoliata and Nymphoides coronata, which were the closest relatives based on the APG IV system, were used as outgroups. Tribes to which each species belongs are shown on the right side of the tree. Bootstrap supports were calculated from 1000 replicates.
