The high-elevations ecosystems in the Northern Andes, known as paramos, exhibit an exceptional diversity of species accounting for 10 to 20% of Andean flora's richness and contain the fastest alpine plant radiation in the world. The Espeletiinae (Asteraceae, Heliantheae), endemic to these habitats and among these major examples of Andean diversification, took advantage of the ecological benefits provided by the uplift of the páramos, by developing a remarkable morphological and ecological diversity in less than 3 Ma to cope with the abiotic stresses of these ecosystems. This complex of +/- 135 species includes branched tree life forms, dwarf rosettes, and caulescent as well sessile as giant rosettes, constituting an emblematic adaptation o...
