The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) of southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot and harbours one of the world's richest temperate floras. However, the origin and evolution of its biota remain largely unresolved. Here we explore the impact of mountain uplift on the diversification process of biodiversity in this hotspot using alpine bamboos.
