Evolution of types of floral heteromorphy across the mimosoid clade. Character states were defined as: homomorphic, i.e. with no conspicuous modification or variation amongst flowers within an inflorescence (here we include inflorescences that can comprise proportions of male and bisexual flowers, but no other more conspicuous variation); heteromorphic 1 = basal flowers of the inflorescence with showy staminodia; heteromorphic 2 = flowers dimorphic within an inflorescence, the central flower (or flowers) enlarged/sessile cf. the peripheral (sometimes pedicellate) flowers. Branch lengths are not informative in this figure. Photos a–h heteromorphic 1 a Neptunia plena (L.) Benth. b Dichrostachys cinerea (L.)
