“…Four subtribes are currently recognized: Schreberinae, Ligustrinae, Fraxininae and Oleinae (Wallander & Albert, 2000). The phylogenetic relationships within each subtribe are complex, with some of the recognized genera being polyphyletic (Besnard, Rubio de Casas, Christin, & Vargas, 2009;Guo et al, 2011;Hong-Wa & Besnard, 2013;Yuan, Zhang, Han, Dong, & Shang, 2010;Zedane et al, 2016) or paraphyletic (Li, Alexander, & Zhang, 2002). Furthermore, extensive incongruence between the plastid DNA (cpDNA) and nrDNA phylogeny has been reported, suggesting hybridization and/or incomplete lineage sorting within several genera (Besnard et al, 2009;Hinsinger et al, 2013;Hong-Wa & Besnard, 2013), although heterogeneous evolutionary rates might also account for biased inferences based on nrDNA (Zedane et al, 2016).…”
