PHYLOGENY IN LABIATAE SL, INFERRED FROM CPDNA SEQUENCES

Sequences of rbcL and ndhF were analysed independently and in combinat ion to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Labiatae s. 1. Monophyly of Labiatae s. 1 was supported by all three analyses. Congea tomentosa (Symphoremataceae) is nested within Labiatae s. 1. in the rbcL analys is, but emerges as the sister group of Labiatae s. 1. in the ndhF and combined analyses. Four noteworthy clades of Labiate s. 1. also are su pported by all analyses corresponding to subfamilies Nepetoideae, Lami oideae, Pogostemonoideae and Scutellarioideae. Monophyly of subfamilie s Chloanthoideae and Viticoideae is not supported. A clade comprising Teucrioideae plus Ajuga is supported by ndhF and the combined analysis .
