For climatic niche comparison, we built a dataset of 348 occurrence points. By comparing morphometric, genetic, and climatic niche data, we showed that <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic> cannot be considered a distinct species. Morphometric separation between the two species is detectable, but high‐elevation populations of <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic> are similar to <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic>. Genetic analyses revealed that the genetic structure of populations of <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic> is mainly shaped by isolation‐by‐distance, irrespective of their taxonomic attribution. The climatic niches of the two species are overlapping, and the niche differences are just due to different availability of climatic conditions in their ranges.

To address this, we conducted an integrative taxonomy of the Asian clade.

To this end, we examine evidence from inflorescence branching patterns, seed coat, and phylogeny in detail, and contrast circumscriptions of genera with the available data. We also indicate possible consequences of the proposed system for herbarium curators, keepers and users of large databases, and generalist users of identification keys. We argue that the morphological circumscriptions of <jats:italic>Paepalanthus</jats:italic> s.str. and of most of the other 11 segregate genera lack coherence. The majority of characters used as potential synapomorphies or in diagnoses are not sufficient to support the genera because they conflict with or do not represent the morphology of all the included species. The information regarding inflorescence branching patterns and seed coat are interpreted ambiguously or represent preliminary results, and some characters are known for only a limited number of species. Inflorescences are difficult to interpret in herbarium specimens, and the seed coat mostly requires SEM analysis for proper visualization, thus hindering identification. On the other hand, <jats:italic>Paepalanthus</jats:italic> s.l. can be identified by a combination of floral characters, as can the remaining genera of the family. We therefore endorse the recognition of <jats:italic>Paepalanthus</jats:italic> s.l. as a single, nomenclaturally stable, and monophyletic entity. This is the best‐fitting solution to reflect both evolutionary and morphological aspects of this recently diversified lineage. Finally, we provide a new identification key for the 7 genera of the Eriocaulaceae, characterizing <jats:italic>Paepalanthus</jats:italic> s.l. by floral characters that can be observed in any flowering specimen.","PeriodicalId":49448,"journal":{"name":"Taxon","volume":"189 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141577562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
