50% majority-rule consensus tree obtained from the Bayesian inference analysis of the nrDNA ITS sequences in selected species of Silene. Posterior probabilities (PP) ≥ 0.70 are shown above the branches and bootstrap values (BS) ≥ 75 below. Gray box shows S. sect. Silene s.l. Accessions newly sequenced are indicated by an asterisk. Two accessions of S. arabica that we did not confirm are indicated by a plus sign.
