Maximum likelihood phylogeny unveiling the taxonomic position of H. brasiliensis . A phylogenetic tree was constructed using 144 orthologous single-copy gene clusters distributed across 17 species for which the genome sequences are available. The tree was constructed by the Maximum likelihood method using PhyML employing SPR and NNI for best tree improvement features. The analysis revealed the position of H. brasiliensis to be in Malvidae with more relatedness to M. esculenta. Bootstrapping procedures were applied over random 100 replicates and 7 seeds and the values are shown at nodes.
