Abstract
⺠Endemic Galápagos Varronia species derive from continental American ancestors. ⺠Sequence data indicate reticulate evolutionary history for the four endemic species. ⺠One ancestral dispersal event for all endemic species best explains results. ⺠Lineage sorting, morphological divergence followed immigration to Galápagos. ⺠Stem and crown group radiations of endemics occurred ca. 4.5 and 1.12 Myr ago.
