Figure 4. Phylogeny of extant characeans with ages of the main nodes as provided from fossils. The presently known fossil record of extant genera is marked with a bold line on the cladogram. Question marks at nodes indicate uncertainty in the age of the node. Phylogeny modified from Pérez et al. (Citation2014).
