Abstract

âº High level of morphological homoplasy. âº Pollinator-based selection in different areas consistent with character displacement. âº About 60 million years of no apparent net diversification. âº Abrupt post-bottleneck increase in diversification rate most pronounced in Rafflesia. âº Vicariant diversification caused by L Miocene to E Pliocene rise in sea-level.
