The range of rates of ancestral character state evolution estimated using MCMC models for 6 leaflet anatomical traits of southern African Oxalis. Average, minimum and maximum (min - max) range values are reported for models run across all 300 trees. For character states (states 0, 1 and 2) see figure legends in Fig. 5
