Towards a complete phylogeny of African Melastomateae: Systematics ofDissotisand allies (Melastomataceae)

Abstract: Dissotis has long been regarded as the most species‐rich genus of African Melastomataceae, yet its diagnostic characters have never been examined in an explicitly phylogenetic context. In a previous study, we recovered a large clade consisting of “Dissotis and allies” but with poorly understood generic limits. Here we present a nearly complete phylogeny of African Melastomateae with focus on Dissotis and allies using sequences generated from two nuclear (nrETS, nrITS) and two plastid markers (ndhF, psbK‐psbL),… Show more

“…While much progress has been made on the phylogeny of New World groups (previous references) and African Olisbeoideae (Stone, 2006, 2014) and Melastomateae Bartl. (Veranso‐Libalah et al, 2017, 2018, 2020), much work is still needed on the Asian and Madagascan Melastomataceae. Most of these phylogenetic analyses have been based on analyses of seven or fewer nuclear and plastid loci.…”

“…Throughout the taxonomic history of Melastomataceae, androecium morphology provided useful characters especially for the delimitation of genera and species (e.g., Triana, 1872; Renner, 1993; Clausing & Renner, 2001b; Goldenberg & al., 2003; Michelangeli & al., 2011; Veranso‐Libalah & al., 2020). Naturally, the morphological variability of the androecium in melastomes, especially the elaborate anther appendages and staminodes, is closely linked to the diversity of pollinators.…”

“…Two nuclear [the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (nrITS) and the nuclear ribosomal external transcribed spacer (nrETS)] and three plastid loci ( accD − psaI , psbK − psbL and ndhF ) were amplified and sequenced. These loci have been widely used in phylogenetic studies across the Melastomataceae (Michelangeli et al, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013; Kriebel et al, 2015; Reginato & Michelangeli, 2016; Rocha et al, 2016; Veranso‐Libalah et al, 2017, 2020; Guimarães et al, 2019; Kartonegoro et al, 2021). All the African Sonerileae sequences were generated in a previous study (Burgt et al, 2022); voucher information is provided in the online supporting information (Table ).…”
