Gene trees and species trees: Molecular systematics as one-character taxonomy. Comprehensive taxon sampling, congruent data, gene trees, incomplete lineage sorting, plant molecular systematics, plant taxonomy, species trees, phylogenomic analysis Keywords: comprehensive taxon sampling; congruent data; gene trees; incomplete lineage sorting; phylogenomic analysis; plant molecular systematics; plant taxonomy; species trees EN comprehensive taxon sampling congruent data gene trees incomplete lineage sorting phylogenomic analysis plant molecular systematics plant taxonomy species trees 1 4 4 08/31/23 20230801 NES 230801 In the process of compiling a flora for Montana (Lesica, [21], [21]), we came to realize that many published nomenclatural changes are only weakly supported by the data presented which has often been based on recent findings in the field of molecular evolution. Taxonomists and non-taxonomic botanists should also realize that another source of discordance between gene trees and species trees is transfer of mitochondria or chloroplasts across species boundaries.
