The three main clades of Anisocycla correspond to three distinct genera, i.e., Anisocycla sensu stricto and two new genera (Georgesia and Macrophragma). Epinetrum is a member of Albertisia. Our findings highlight that sea-level fluctuations and climate changes in the Cenozoic have played important roles in shaping the current distribution and endemism of Tiliacoreae, hence contributing to the knowledge on the historical biogeography of tropical rainforests on a global scale.
