From: Clock-dated phylogeny for 48% of the 700 species of Crotalaria (Fabaceae–Papilionoideae) resolves sections worldwide and implies conserved flower and leaf traits throughout its pantropical range

Fig. 1

Maximum likelihood (ML) tree for 372 accessions representing 338 species of Crotalaria and 33 species of the remaining 15 genera of Crotalarieae based on 3175 aligned nucleotides of nuclear and plastid sequences. Bootstrap support values for every node are shown in Additional file 10: Figure S8. Key flower traits plotted: Keel beak (spirally twisted; straight), calyx (bilabiate; equally lobed), and length of calyx (as long as/longer than keel; shorter than keel). Formal ML state reconstructions ( Methods ) of the three traits on the chronogram (Fig. 3) are shown in Additional file 1: Figures S1, Additional file 2: Figure S2 and Additional file 3: Figure S3.
