Bot. 26:622-642. Note: this study compared molecular based phylogeny with one inferred by morphological characters; Daucus montanus (as "D. montanus" Humb. & Bonpl.") was resolved in the morphological phylogeny in a low supported group sister to D. pusillus and closer to D. carota, while for the combined data the phylogeny resolved D. montanus in a well supported, polytomic subclade with D. pusillus - D. guttatus sister to Agrocharis spp., and distant to the D. carota group

Note: this study evaluated the monophyly of tribe Caucalideae, and its affinities to tribes Scandiceae and Laserpitieae; the phylogeny resolved Daucus as polyphyletic, with one group allied to Pseudorlaya, Pachyctenium, and a second distant group allied to Agrocharis; Daucus montanus (as "D. montanus Humb. & Bonpl.") was resolved in this second group

Note: this biogeographic study of Cryptotaenia included members of tribe Scandiceae to reconstruct a phylogeny; the genus Daucus was again solved as polyphyletic; Daucus montanus was resolved sister to D. glochidiatus within a distant clade to D. carota; the biogeographic analysis using either Bayesian or Neighbor-joining supported an eastern Mediterranean-central-east African origin for the whole clade from which two dispersal events to Macaronesia and one back-dispersal to Africa might be a viable hypothesis
