clusters <strong>of</strong> P. suberosa ssp. litoralis, all primarily positioned adjacently on the tree<br />

between the P. tridactylites/P. suberosa ssp. suberosa group and the P. pallida<br />

group. These results suggest that both P. tridactylites and P. suberosa ssp.<br />

suberosa may have evolved from a non-monophyletic P. suberosa ssp. litoralis.<br />

One small cluster <strong>of</strong> two accessions from coastal areas <strong>of</strong> Ecuador and Peru are<br />

located in a small group just “below” the larger P. tridactylites/P. suberosa ssp.<br />

suberosa cluster. However, the rest <strong>of</strong> the clusters <strong>of</strong> P. suberosa ssp. litoralis<br />

contain individuals from mainly high elevations in México and Central America<br />

with South American accessions scattered within them. In addition, two<br />

individuals, which may be <strong>of</strong> hybrid origin and possess affinities <strong>of</strong> P. pallida and<br />

P. suberosa, occur at two different locations in the neighbor joining tree, but they<br />

are both most similar to P. pallida.
