Combining morphological characters with molecular data provided resolution of relationships within Corymbia. The analyses support the monophyly of the genus and recognition of two major clades, treated here as subgenera nov.: subgenus Corymbia including informal sections recognised by Hill and Johnson, Rufaria (red bloodwoods), Apteria and Fundoria; and subgenus Blakella including sections Politaria (spotted gums), Cadagaria, Blakearia (paper-fruited bloodwoods or ghost gums) and Ochraria (yellow bloodwoods). Hill and Johnson s section Rufaria is monophyletic if Apteria and Fundoria are included. It is evident that among the red bloodwoods series are not monophyletic and a number of morphological characters result from convergent evolution. There is strong morphological and molecular evidence that the three species of red bloodwoods that occur in south west Western Australia (series Gummiferae C. calophylla and C. haematoxylon, and series Ficifolia C. ficifolia) form a monophyletic group, separate from the eastern C. gummifera (series Gummiferae), which is probably sister to the clade of all other red bloodwoods. Phylogenetic results support recognition of taxonomic categories within Corymbia, which are formalised here.} }
