Abstract

Reconstructions of phylogenetic relationships using chloroplast trnL-F and nuclear ribosomal LSU (or 26S) were based on 367 samples of Mannia and other Aytoniaceae, and two outgroup genera, Targionia hypophylla and Athalamia hyalina. Some Mannia species are represented several times, but from different countries. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses were conducted on individual and combined molecular datasets. All phylogenetic tree topologies showed polytomies but suggest that Mannia has evolved from within its sister genus Asterella and that the genus falls into two main clades. Because Mannia is paraphyletic with Asterella gracilis nested with M. triandra and M. pilosa, Asterella gracilis is transferred to Mannia. The major differences between those genera are redefined. Based on molecular and morphological evidence Mannia is divided into two subgenera Mannia and Neesiella; Asterella subg. Graciles becomes a synonym of Mannia subg. Neesiella.
