“…3): the genus Araucaria and the agathioid clade formed by Agathis and Wollemia. This is in agreement with different previous molecular studies (Gilmore and Hill 1997;Kunzmann 2007;Liu et al 2009) and in disagreement with others (Setoguchi et al 1998). The low number of informative characters has been postulated as the main cause for the disagreements of previous phylogenetic studies (Codrington et al 2009).…”

“…1). Gilmore and Hill (1997), Kunzmann (2007), and Liu et al (2009) retrieved Wollemia as sister to Agathis, with Araucuaria at the base of this clade. This hypothesis is also supported by an analysis that included representatives of all living conifer families (Stefanovic et al 1998;Leslie et al 2012).…”

“…The araucarian sections were originally proposed on the basis of morphological differences (White 1947;Wilde and Eames 1952;Stockey 1982Stockey , 1994 and subsequently supported by most molecular phylogenetic analyses (Setoguchi et al 1998). Other studies rejected some sections but with low support values (Liu et al 2009;section Araucaria).…”

“…based on rbcL gene sequences. Other molecular phylogenetic analyses of this family were published but also with reduced taxon-and gene-sampling regimes (Gilmore and Hill 1997;Stefenon et al 2006;Kunzmann 2007;Codrington et al 2009;Liu et al 2009). Despite the differences in gene and taxon sampling, these analyses agree in the monophyly of Araucariaceae and its three genera, with high support in most cases.…”

Premise of research. Phylogenetic relationships of Araucariaceae (Coniferophyta, Araucariales) are revised on the basis of the first combined data matrix for the family.Methodology. Taxon sampling includes 39 ingroup species (31 extant, 8 fossils) and outgroup species of all the remaining conifer families. Five fossil Araucaria species, one species of the genus Araucarites, and two species of the extinct genera Wairarapaia and Emwadea were included in the analyses. Character sampling includes 23 genomic regions (19 plastid, 2 nuclear, and 2 mitochondrial) and 62 morphological characters (52 discrete and 10 continuous). The phylogenetic analyses were conducted with equally weighted parsimony. Additionally, several analyses under different taxon-and gene-sampling regimes were analyzed for identifying the causes of the long-lasting controversies in the interrelationships of the three extant genera of Araucariaceeae.Pivotal results. Monophyletic Araucariaceae is the sister group of Podocarpaceae, forming the order Araucariales. Monophyly of Araucaria and Agathis is also strongly supported by the data. The results of both molecular and combined analyses indicate that Wollemia and Agathis form a clade (pagathioid clade) sister to Araucaria. Within Araucaria, the analyses support the monophyly of the four currently recognized sections: Araucaria, Bunya, Intermedia, and Eutacta. Results support the monophyly of living and fossil Araucaria (including Araucarites), whereas the remaining extinct genera are placed as the stem of the agathioid clade. In terms of the sensitivity analyses performed, results suggest that inconsistencies among previous results would be related to ingroup sampling.Conclusions. By means of a combined phylogenetic analysis, we have been able to obtain a strongly supported and well-resolved phylogeny of Araucariaceae that includes both living species and fossil species for the group. This study shows the feasibility and usefulness of phylogenetic analyses that incorporate multiple sources of evidence (molecules/morphology, living/fossil species, discrete/continuous characters).

“…According to DNA evidence (Quinn et al 2002;Kunzmann 2007;Rai et al 2008;Liu et al 2009) Podocarpaceae are close to Araucariaceae with Pinaceae at the base of the Coniferales. However the fossil record (Farjon 2010) points to a basal position of Podocarpaceae ?…”

The leaf dimorphism of A. lefipanensis is similar to that of extant A. bidwillii, where dimorphism is considered to be related to seasonal growth. The leaf dimorphism in A. lefipanensis is consistent with the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions previously suggested for the Lefipán Formation, which is thought to have been a seasonal subtropical forest. The new species shows evidence of mosaic evolution, with cone scale complexes morphologically similar to section Eutacta and leaves similar to the sections of the broad-leaved clade, constituting a possible transitional form between these two well-defined lineages. More complete plant concepts, especially those including both reproductive and vegetative remains are necessary to understand the evolution of ancient plant lineages. This work contributes to this aim by documenting a new species that may add to the understanding of the early evolution of the sections of Araucaria.
