Phylogenetic relationships among species of Cuscuta sect. Subulatae shown as a phylogram obtained from maximum likelihood analysis of nrITS sequence data under the GTA+G+I model of DNA evolution. Tree is rooted using C. microstyla as a functional outgroup. Numbers following species names correspond to DNA accessions (Appendix 1). Bootstrap values are indicated. Photos represent fimbriae of infrastaminal scales: papillate in clade A and not papillate in clade B. Scale bars: 100 μm.
