Though the order is rather well-defined, the number of recognised families, their circumscription, and relationships are somewhat controversial. Methods: Phylogenetic analyses of Asparagales based on parsimony and maximum likelihood were conducted using nucleotide sequence variation in three plastid genes (matK, ndhF, and rbcL) and two mitochondrial genes (atp1 and cob). Branch support was assessed using both jackknife analysis implementing strict-consensus (SC), and bootstrap analysis implementing frequency-within-replicates (FWR). The contribution of edited sites in the mitochondrial genes to topology and branch support is investigated. Key results: The topologies recovered are largely in agreement with previous results, though some clades remain poorly resolved (e.g., Ruscaceae). When the edited sites are included in the analysis the plastid and mitochondrial genes are highly incongruent. However, when removed the two partitions become congruent. Conclusions: Some of the deeper nodes in the Asparagales phylogeny remain poorly or unresolved as do the relationships of certain monogeneric families (e.g., Ixioliriaceae, Doryanthaceae), whereas the support for many families is growing. However, the increased support is dominated by plastid data, and the potential influence of mitochondrial and biparentially inherited single or low-copy nuclear genes should be investigated. } }
