Consensus tree of the combined analysis based on the markers matK, rbcL, and ITS showing the phylogenetic placement of “Keraunea brasiliensis” (Passos et al. 5263) (highlighted in red) within Malpighiaceae, making the family non-monophyletic. Elatinaceae (highlighted in light grey) represents the outgroup and the root of this analysis. Bootstrap values from the ML are shown above the branches, and posterior probabilities from the BI are shown below the branches. The tree on the left is presented for branch length visualisation.
