Figure 3. Phylogenetic relationships among the hosts of Apodanthaceae (legume relationships from Wojciechowski et al. 2006) and among the species of Apodanthaceae (from Bellot and Renner in review). Identical colors link parasite species and their host (s) and are also used in Figure 2. Dashed lines represent associations with rarely reported hosts; hosts in bold are the most common ones.
