The Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America harbors many rare and endemic species, yet their evolution is poorly understood. We investigate the rare Sandhills Lily (Lilium pyrophilum), which is endemic to seepage slopes in a restricted area of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of eastern North America. Using phylogenetic evidence from chloroplast, nuclear internal transcribed spacer, and two low-copy nuclear genes, we establish a close relationship between L. pyrophilum and the widespread Turks? Cap Lily, L. superbum. Isolation-with-migration and coalescent simulation analyses suggest that 1) the divergence between these two species falls in the late Pleistocene or Holocene and almost certainly postdates the establishment of the edaphic conditions to which L. pyrophilum is presently restricted, 2) vicariance is responsible for the present range disjunction between the two species, and that subsequent gene flow has been asymmetrical, and 3) L. pyrophilum harbors substantial genetic diversity in spite of its present rarity. This system provides an example of the role of edaphic specialization and climate change in promoting diversification in the Atlantic coastal plain.} }
