Phylogenetic relationships amongst 53 species from 30 genera of the tribe Desmodieae based on the trnL-F sequence data using Maximum Likelihood analysis. Numbers at the nodes are posterior probabilities and bootstrap percentages (PP, BP) from Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood analysis, respectively. A dash (--) indicates PP < 0.5 or BP < 50%. The grey cover shows the representative of Hylodesmum within which Verdesmum menglaense (indicated by bold font) was deeply embedded.
