This study investigates the phylogenetic placement of Mimosa pabstiana and its implications for the biogeographic patterns of the Pleistocene Arc Theory in the genus Mimosa (Leguminosae, Caesalpinoideae). The authors used molecular data to analyze the evolutionary relationships of M. pabstiana and to explore its biogeographic history.
