Historical biogeograpohic patterns of relationships among southern and northern South America, North America, and southern temperate areas were investigated by a cladistic biogeographic analysis of 17 taxon cladograms. Three techniques were applied: Wiley's biogeographic parsimony analysis, Nelson and Platnick's component analysis, and Humphries, Ladiges, Roos, and Zandee's quantification of component analysis. Biogeographic parsimony analysis yielded two general area cladograms (CI=0.74)
