Abstract

Background: The Philippine archipelago is one of the globally most important model island systems for studying evolutionary processes. However, most plant species on this archipelago have not yet been studied in sufficient detail. The main aim of this study is to fill in the blanks regarding the Philippine members of the pantropical genus, Ixora. Results: The highly complex plastid and nuclear divergence patterns in Philippine Ixora, documented using tree and network approaches, in Philippine Ixora give witness of a highly dynamic evolution of Ixora, involving several phases of radiation and recolonisation. Our study highlights the importance of Philippine species to understand phytogeographic patterns in the Indomalayan-Australasian eco-region. Conclusions: The genetic differentiation in Ixora reflects the complex topographical and tectonic history of the Philippine archipelago. The incongruence between genealogies based on the biparentally inherited nucleome and maternally inherited plastome is important to know to understand the evolution of Ixora.
