Abstract

Previous molecular phylogenetic research, based upon chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal DNA data, has demonstrated that the large genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) is paraphyletic as traditionally circumscribed. However, neither relationships within Salvia sensu lato nor subtribe Salviinae have been evaluated using low copy nuclear gene regions. Here, we use two low copy nuclear gene regions (PPR-AT3G09060 and GBSSI) to further assess relationships of Salvia and related genera within Salviinae. Our results largely echo results from previous studies based on chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal DNA. Based upon the phylogenetic results presented here, previous phylogenetic studies, and taxonomic, morphological, and practical considerations, we conclude that the botanical community would be best served by maintaining a broadly defined Salvia, and including the five small embedded genera Dorystaechas, Meriandra, Perovskia, Rosmarinus, and Zhumeria as Salvia species. We subsequently present an updated circumscription of Salvia
