Based on sequences of ITS, matK, rbcL and rps16, a phylogenetic tree is constructed for Pseudostellaria and outgroup genera of Caryophyllaceae subfamily Alsinoideae including Stellaria and Cerastium, and members of subfamily Caryophylloideae, by means of maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. The results indicate that core Pseudostellaria is monophyletic; however, the presence of two recognizable clades in the genus does not support the current infrageneric classification into two sections. Evolution of six morphological characters, including root tubers, stamen number a...
