Abstract

Information from a portion of the nuclear 26S and the chloroplast trnL-trnF and atpB-rbcL was used to reconstruct relationships among specimens having T. norvegica J.E.Zetterst., T. comata Lindb. & Arnell, and T. sibirica Lindb. & Arnell morphology. Whereas maximum parsimony analysis provided high support for Timmia section Norvegica, T. comata, and a clade with T. sibirica plus T. norvegica, the relationships among specimens with morphologies of the latter two taxa could be resolved only by means of haplotype networks. The haplotype network based on 26S distinguishes T. sibirica from T. norvegica, whereas the two chloroplast markers do not. Based on the 26S differences and morphological evidence, T. sibirica and T. norvegica are considered different at the species level. Timmia comata is resolved in a haplotype network separate from that of T. norvegica plus T. sibirica. In combination with the high Bootstrap support of the clade with T. comata specimens and their morphological distinctness from T. norvegica, this provides very high support for its recognition as a distinct species.
