Abstract

A parsimony analysis of ndhF nucleotide sequences representing 24 species and 13 genera of the Sterculioideae strongly supports the monophyly of the group. Within the Sterculioideae clade four major clades have good bootstrap support but relationships among them are not resolved. The analyses suggest the recognition of the genus Argyrodendron as separate from Heritiera and support Acropogon as separate from Sterculia, and Tarrietia as part of Heritiera. The current circumscriptions of Hildegardia and Firmiana is not supported. The use of fruit characters in the delimitation of genera within the Sterculioideae may not be appropriate for some genera and other morphological characters need to be found.
