Floral morphology and morphogenesis in Camptotheca (Nyssaceae), and its systematic significance
Journal: Annals of Botany
Year: 2018

Camptotheca possesses several traits that unify it with Nyssa, Mastixia and Diplopanax. Inflorescence and floral characters support a close relationship with Nyssaceae and Mastixiaceae but a distant relationship with Cornus. Our results corroborate molecular inferences and support a separate family Nyssaceae.
