A molecular phylogenetic hypothesis was generated for Tylecodon, Cotyledon and Adromischus in order to estimate the timing and spatial dynamics of diversification across these three southern African genera. These data were used to investigate the correlates and consequences of adaptations to extreme aridity and summer drought in members of the group.
