FUSION EVOLUTION. “Unlike perianth fusion, which occurs early in angiosperm evolution and defines large clades, stamen fusion occurs multiple times independently and does not tend to define major angiosperm clades, although it is locally important for species-level diversification and is likely to have adaptive significance given the impact on mating patterns in plant populations.”
