(a) angiosperm, (b) gymnosperm trees, and (c) their overlap. Centers of neo-endemism (Neo, i.e., concentrations of rare short branches), paleo-endemism (Paleo, i.e., concentrations of rare long branches), and mixed neo- and paleo-endemism (Mixed) were identified using a randomization analysis [categorical analysis of neo- and paleo-endemism (CANAPE)] conducted separately for angiosperm and gymnosperm trees. (d) Venn diagram showing the area and percentage overlap of the significant endemism regions (i.e., hotspot, including centers of either neo-endemism, paleo-endemism, or mixed neo- and paleo-endemism) between angiosperm and gymnosperm trees. Numbers are sum of the hotspot cells, and the percentages in brackets correspond to the percentages of non-overlapping cells in each of the angiosperm and gymnosperm hotspots.
