  • The goals are (1) to test the monophyly of Subtribe Artemisiinae and the Artemisia -group; (2) determine the phylogenetic placements of the segregate and allied genera in relation to Artemisia s.s .; and (3) evaluate the patterns of diversification and test biogeographic hypotheses and evolutionary trends in capitular and floral morphology in the Artemisia -group [ 49 50 ] . The ITS have been demonstrated to be appropriate for examining generic relationships in many plant families including the Asteraceae [ 61 ] , for Tribe Anthemideae specifically [ 62 63 ] and within Artemisia [ 34 36 ] .
