TABLES
Table 1. List of studied species organized by family, growth
forms (GF), and area of occurrence. Occurrences were obtained from GBIF
(https://www.gbif.org/en/). We
considered as a valid country of occurrence if there were more than one
specimen recorded in that country. If a species was listed in more than
four South American countries is registered as South America. Accepted
species names and authorities are from the Plant List
(http://www.theplantlist.org/).
The last column shows the PFTs to which the species belong after our
cluster analysis. Growth forms are as follow: US = Upright shrub; PS =
Prostrate shrubs, SR = Stem rosette; BR= Basal rosette, AR= Acaulescent
rosette, PH= Reptant and prostrate herbs, and EH= Erect herbs.
