AbstractA first hypothesis for the phylogeny of Lecanora subgen. Placodium is presented by using molecular data. Previous evolutionary ideas and classification concepts for this group with non-molecular data are re-investigated using DNA sequence data from the nuclear ITS and 5.8S regions. Using Protoparmelia as an outgroup, the Lecanora subfusca group together with the L. rupicola group appear as a sister group to assemblages with lobate species. Subgen. Placodium as currently accepted, is not monophyletic. Molecular data suggest that the Lecanora dispersa group and the L. polytropa group are widened by lobate species and there is evidence from the ITS data that the monotypic genus Arctopeltis Poelt is closely related to the L. dispersa group. A congruence between molecular data and secondary chemistry supports the broader concept of the L. dispersa group suggested by the molecular data.

Onobrychis, comprising more than 130 species, is a genus of the family Fabaceae. At this time, the interspecies relationship of this biologically important genus is still a subject of great discussion and debate. To help resolve this disagreement, we used molecular phylogeny to analyse internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and trnL–trnF sequences of 76 species of Onobrychis. Bayesian interference, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of nuclear ITS and plastid trnL–trnF DNA sequence data generated trees with strong posterior probability for two groups: Onobrychis subgen. Sisyrosema (including: Heliobrychis, Hymenobrychis, Afghanicae and Anthyllium sections) along with Laxiflorae section in Group I and Onobrychis subgen. Onobrychis (except Laxiflorae section) in the other (Group II). The Laxiflorae section roots back to the ancestral node for Sisyrosema subgen. O. viciifolia (cultivated species), which is closely associated with O. cyri var. cyri, suggesting that the latter may be a wild progenitor of O. viciifolia. The present study supported the paraphyly of subgenera Onobrychis and Sisyrosema. The study proposed the paraphyletic nature of the sections Onobrychis, Dendrobrychis, Heliobrychis and Hymenobrychis. Together with our molecular phylogenetic analyses we present a review of Onobrychis morphology and discuss and compare our results with those of earlier morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses.

The Balkan Peninsula is one of the few biodiversity hotspots in Europe, characterized by numerous endemic taxa. Due to their often-restricted distribution and the scarcity of modern phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies from this region, the phylogenetic position and taxonomy of these species are often poorly understood. One example is Asyneuma comosiforme, a stenoendemic species known only from the Shija Gorge in northeastern Albania. Since its description in 1921, the position of this poorly known species within Asyneuma has been questioned. Here, we use nuclear ITS and plastid trnL–trnF DNA sequence data to address the question of the phylogenetic position of this enigmatic species. The inferred phylogenies clearly support A. comosiforme as sister to the main clade of isophyllous Campanula species, which is supported by morphological and ecological similarities. Thus, a new nomenclatural combination, Campanula comosiformis, is proposed. Given the restricted distribution, this species should be considered at least vulnerable, but the small population size might warrant its classification as endangered.

Se evaluaron las relaciones filogenéticas de Telipogon, Ornithocephalus y géneros afines (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) mediante análisis de parsimonia de datos de espaciadores de ADN ribosomal nuclear (nrITS) y de tres regiones de ADN de plastidios (matK, trnL-F y la región espaciadora intergénica atpB-rbcL). Además de un análisis de 81 OTU con ITS, se usó una matriz de 30 taxa para realizar análisis combinados de ADN nuclear y de plastidios. Stellilabium aparece anidado dentro de Telipogon. Éste presenta dos clados sudamericanos y uno centroamericano. Un clado de Stellilabium es hermano del clado centroamericano de Telipogon; el segundo clado de Stellilabium es hermano de todas las especies centroamericanas de Telipogon y Stellilabium. Hofmeisterella es un miembro del grupo de Telipogon. El género Dipterostele como tal no se justifica, según este estudio. Se realizan cambios nomenclatoriales para transferir las especies de Stellilabium a Telipogon.

Bulbophyllum yongtaiense, a new orchid species from Fujian, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. Detailed morphological comparisons indicate that B. yongtaiense is similar to B. kuanwuense, but it can be distinguished from longer scape, fimbriate-ciliate on margins of dorsal sepals and petals, petals with obtuse apex and a lip with finely papillose near base. Molecular analyses based on nuclear ITS and plastid matK, atpI-atpH, and trnL-F DNA sequence data support B. yongtaiense is genetically similar to B. hirundinis and B. pecten-veneris, but it can be distinguished from them by having shorter lateral sepals, petals with obtuse apex and a lip with finely papillose near base.
