Abstract

The point we wished to make was simply that the more complex geography and topography of eastern Asia compared with eastern North America, in conjunction with climate change and sea-level fluctuations, have provided greater opportunity for allopatric speciation. This explanation of the greater diversity of vascular plants in temperate regions of eastern Asia cannot yet be tested using any particular biome reconstruction, all of which are poorly resolved.
