Sj. Wagstaff et al., PARSIMONY ANALYSIS OF CPDNA RESTRICTION SITE VARIATION IN SUBFAMILY NEPETOIDEAE (LABIATAE), American journal of botany, 82(7), 1995, pp. 886-892
Parsimony analysis of cpDNA restriction site variation supports monoph
yly of subfamily Nepetoideae, However, a close relationship among Nepe
toideae and other gynobasic-styled Labiatae is not supported, indicati
ng that a gynobasic style has evolved independently in at least two cl
ades of Labiatae. The inferred relationships are congruent with the cl
assification of Cantino, Harley, and Wagstaff (1992, Advances in labia
te sciences, 27-37, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) but conflict to varyin
g degrees with traditional classifications. Monophyly of four tribes o
f Nepetoideae also is supported.
