[Display omitted] •Chloroplast (cp) genomes of 35 species representing 31 genera of the 14 tribes of the Ranunculaceae were sequenced, based on which well-resolved phylogenetic trees were obtained.•Two waves of radiation within the core Ranunculaceae were identified, through which most of the extant...
