Bayesian reconstruction of ancestral states in the four characters (1–4) at seven nodes (A–G) across a posterior sample of trees including Morindeae as well as the outgroup taxa Damnacanthus indicus and Mitchella repens (Mitchelleae).

*For each character 1–4, the average and 95% highest posterior density of κ is provided. For character 1, we also provide the marginal posterior probabilities of having state 0, 1, and 2, respectively, in each of the eight selected nodes (the Mitchelleae-Morindeae root node and nodes A–G). For character 2–4, we provide the marginal posterior probabilities of having state 0 for the same eight nodes. The 95% HPD of κ excludes 0 in all cases, which is a strong indication that branch lengths carry information about the amount of change in the morphological characters.
