  abstract = {{T}he floristic treatment of {E}ngler and {D}iels, published in 1901, provides the only infrageneric classification of the pantropical genus {X}ylopia ({A}nnonaceae). {H}ere we test and extend that classification using molecular and seed morphology characters. {P}hylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using data from four plastid regions obtained from 44 of the approximately 165 species in the genus, recovering four well-supported major clades. {S}eed characters were examined for these taxa, and six aril morphologies, three previously undocumented, were distinguished; we also document the presence of a sarcotesta on the seeds of many species. {M}olecular and seed data support recognition of five sections within the genus; one, {X}ylopia sect. {R}ugosperma, is proposed here as new. {O}ur phylogenetic results suggest an {A}frican origin for the genus and reveal complex biogeographic patterns, likely facilitated by long-distance dispersal.},
