Article Synopsis
- Connaraceae is a diverse family of approximately 200 species, featuring unique floral traits like distyly and dioecy, but their internal relationships haven't been fully examined using modern molecular techniques.
- A phylogenomic study using Angiosperms353 probes analyzed nearly all genera from herbarium specimens, leading to a revised classification and insights into the evolution of their reproductive systems.
- The findings suggest tristyly may be the ancestral reproductive state for the family, though the complex nature of their floral diversity makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.
