Abstract

Cladistic analyses are made upon morphological characters and base chromosome numbers in order to test the monophyly of the nine series of genus Turnera (Turneraceae). Series Annulares and Turnera are monophyletic, as are Anomalae with the exception of two species with unknown fruit and seed morphology. Series Microphyllae and Papilliferae should be merged on one side, and Series Salicifoliae and Stenodictyae with some species of series Capitatae on the other. Series Capitatae is not a natural group, and Series Leiocarpae is unresolved. The T.sidoides complex should be separated into a new series. The biogeographic analyses show that the major diversification of the genus took place in the Chaquean subregion, with vicariant and dispersal events to the other Neotropical subregions.
