Abstract

To clarify relationships among North American members of the genus Draba, we produced a molecular phylogeny using nucleotide sequences from both internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the 5.8S rRNA gene (collectively, ITS). Sequence data from 17 Draba taxa and three outgroups were subjected to both parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses. The resulting phylogenetic framework is used to test the validity of proposed infrageneric classifications for North American Draba, and examine the taxonomic value of flower color, chromosome base number, and growth habit.
