“…In the Americas, Phyla nodiflora is found in unmodified and disturbed habitats and this complicates the determination of its native/alien status in other parts of the world where it also occupies disturbed and undisturbed areas. Our study supports a Neotropical origin for the genus [11] and for Phyla nodiflora [6]. Our results also concur with Kennedy's [6] that P. nodiflora is indigenous to southern USA, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America.…”

“…Recent phylogenetic analyses [11] suggest that the family Verbenaceae has had up to six migration events from the Americas leading to subsequent radiations in Africa (Lantana, Lippia, Verbena, Chascanum, Coelocarpum and possibly Stachytarpheta). A similar natural migration by Phyla nodiflora from the Americas to Africa may therefore not be unexpected.…”

The Phylogeny and Biogeography of Phyla nodiflora (Verbenaceae) Reveals Native and Invasive Lineages throughout the World

Phyla nodiflora is an herbaceous perennial and an enigmatic species. It is indigenous to the Americas but is considered a natural component of the flora in many areas and a weed in others. Our aim was to circumscribe the native range of P. nodiflora, to explore dispersal mechanisms and routes and to test the hypothesis that P. nodiflora is native outside of the Americas. Determining whether distributions are natural or human-induced has implications for decisions regarding weed control or conservation. We undertook phylogenetic analyses using sequence variation in nuclear DNA marker ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) for a global sample of 160 populations of P. nodiflora sourced from Asia, Australia, central America, the Mediterranean, southern North America, South America and Africa. Analyses included maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, a Bayesian estimation of phylogeny and a parsimony network analysis which provided a genealogical reconstruction of ribotypes. We evaluated phylogenies against extensive historical and biogeographical data. Based on the sequences, 64 ribotypes were identified worldwide within P. nodiflora and considerable geographic structure was evident with five clades: one unsupported and the remaining weakly supported (bootstrap support ranging from 52% to 71%). Populations from central and southern North America formed the core area in the indigenous range and we have detected at least three native lineages outside of this range. Within Australia P. nodiflora is represented by at least one native lineage and several post-European introductions. Phyla nodiflora is one of the few species in the family Verbenaceae to have a pan-tropical native distribution, probably resulting from natural dispersal from America to Africa then to Australasia. However, it has also undergone human-mediated dispersal, which has obscured the native-origin of some ribotypes. These introductions present a risk of diluting the pan-tropical structure evident in this species and therefore they have important conservation implications.

“…Com base em estudos filogenéticos recentes, 50 gêneros tradicionalmente reconhecidos como pertencentes à Verbenaceae foram transferidos para Lamiaceae (Cantino et al 1992). As inferências filogenéticas sugerem a origem da família na América do Sul, onde ocorre em uma ampla variedade de ecossistemas e um segundo centro de diversidade na África, relacionado a aproximadamente seis eventos independentes de colonização que originaram as espécies do Velho Mundo (Marx et al 2010). No Brasil, ocorrem 16 gêneros e 286 espécies, sendo 187 endêmicas (BFG 2015) e 50 consideradas raras ).…”

-(Verbenaceae J.St.-Hil. from the State Park of Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil). The Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca (PEIB) is part of the Serra da Mantiqueira; it is located in the southeast of the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais, and belongs to the Atlantic Domain, with predominance of campos rupestres (rocky grasslands) in a vegetational mosaic between altitudes of 1000 to 1784 m. This paper presents the study of the Verbenaceae family from this area, where four genera and nine species were found:

Premise Lantana and Lippia (Verbenaceae) are two large Linnean genera whose classification has been based on associated fruit traits: fleshy vs. dry fruits and one vs. two seed‐bearing units. We reconstruct evolutionary relationships and the evolution of the two fruit traits to test the validity of these traits for classification. Methods Previous studies of plastid DNA sequences provided limited resolution for this group. Consequently, seven nuclear loci, including ITS, ETS, and five PPR loci, were sequenced for 88 accessions of the Lantana/Lippia clade and three outgroups. Results Neither Lantana nor Lippia is monophyletic. Burroughsia, Nashia, Phyla, and several Aloysia species are included within the clade comprising Lantana and Lippia. We provide a hypothesis for fruit evolution and biogeographic history in the group and their relevance for classification. Conclusions Fleshy fruits evolved multiple times in the Lantana/Lippia clade and thus are not suitable taxonomic characters. Several sections of Lantana and Lippia and the small genera are monophyletic, but Lippia section Zappania is broadly paraphyletic, making circumscription of genera difficult. Lippia sect. Rhodolippia is a polyphyletic group characterized by convergence in showy bracts. Species of Lantana sect. Sarcolippia, previously transferred to Lippia, are not monophyletic. The clade originated and diversified in South America, with at least four expansions into both Central America and the Caribbean and two to Africa. The types species of Lantana and Lippia occur in small sister clades, rendering any taxonomy that retains either genus similar to its current circumscription impossible.
