[Display omitted] ► First global phylogeny of an epiphyllous liverwort genus, Diplasiolejeunea. ► Molecular phylogenies are not congruent with current supraspecific classifications. ► Topologies support a deep split into a Neotropical and a Paleotropical clade. ► Paleotropical clade structured into...
