FIVE NEW BULLATE-LEAVED SPECIES OF PEPEROMIA (PIPERACEAE) FROM COLOMBIA

This dataset contains the alignment files and phylogenetic tree files generated for a Sanger-based plastid phylogeny used to placed four new species of Peperomia with bullate leaves and three other species also with bullate leaves within the phylogeny of Peperomia in context with the taxon-rich dataset of Frenzke et al. (2015). The data include alignments of the trnK intron, matK gene, and trnK–psbA spacer, which were extracted, cleaned, and processed through standard phylogenetic workflows (MAFFT, PASTA, Phyx trimming) and used to infer maximum-likelihood phylogenies in IQ-TREE2. These files correspond to the final trimmed alignments and resulting tree topologies used in the manuscript and to compare it with the 194 accessions from Frenzke et al. (2015).
