The small Andean genus Pentacyphus is sister to the MOG clade. The former Gonolobinae form a well-supported subclade closely related to members of Tassadia, Funastrum, and the former Oxypetalinae. The only genera that are monophyletic as presently circumscribed are Tassadia and Funastrum. The separation of Tweedia from Oxypetalum is justified by our results. Philibertia will be monophyletic if Amblystigma, Fontellaea, Melinia, Mitostigma, and Podandra are included. Most species of Blepharodon and Hemipogon are not monophyletic with the respective type species. Some former Astephanus and Cynanchum species as well as the monotypic Grisebachiella are imbedded in Diplolepis (D. descolei, D. geminiflora, D. hieronymi, D. boerhaviifolia, and D. nummulariifolia). The neglected tribe Orthosieae is recognized at subtribal level, Orthosiinae. Chromosome numbers (as far as known) show a tendency for reduction in several clades. The study sets a framework for future study of the American MOG genera and highlights areas in need of further attention.} }
