Infrageneric classification in Conostegia next to the recently generated molecular phylogenetic hypothesis of Conostegia. Colors show the classification proposed by Schnell (1996). To the right of the phylogeny is the sectional classification proposed here. The phylogeny is a slightly modified version of the majority rule consensus tree derived from a Bayesian analysis of DNA sequences from four chloroplast regions and two nuclear ribosomal spacers (Kriebel et al. 2015) pruned to one accession per species.
