2. Gaulettia View in CoL clade

This study strongly supports the close relationship between C. amaraliae , C. canomensis , C. elata and C. parillo , which belong to the Gaulettia clade. This result together with morphological features unique to this clade support recognition of a distinct genus. The other five species that have not been sequenced ( C. cognata , C. canescens , C. foveolata , C. racemosa and C. steyermarkii ) share several morphological characters that support placing them in this clade. Further analyses will be required to infer phylogenetic relationships within the genus by expanding the taxon sampling and sequencing additional and more polymorphic DNA regions.
