Shelley revealed surprising relationships in the complex tangle of Chrysocephalum species in her research.
Abstract
Australia’s everlasting daisies are even more diverse than we thought. Using genetic data from herbarium specimens and freshly collected plants, we are rewriting the family tree of Chrysocephalum, revealing surprising relationships and bringing order to a complex tangle of subspecies. Combined with careful study of morphology, this work aims to show the path forward to clear species boundaries and shed light on how closely related species interact where their ranges overlap.
