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.
