Fig. S2. Phylogenetic overlap between the medicinal floras of Nepal and Cape of South Africa. The phylogenetic tree shown is the combined tree of the floras
from the three regions reconstructed under ML criterion with RAxML 7.2.8. Light blue branches are lineages that are not used in ethnomedicine in eitherofthe
two areas. Dark blue branches are lineages used in ethnomedicine in Nepal and red ones are used in the Cape of South Africa. As shown, the medicinal floras of
the two regions are found in the same lineages on the tree.
