abstract = {Phylogenetic relationships were examined within the genera Theobroma and Herrania using 18 species representing all recognized sections of both genera and three outgroups. DNA sequences for vicilin, a gene encoding a putative seed storage protein, were analyzed using parsimony. Both Herrania and Theobroma appear monophyletic on the most-parsimonious trees, but the monophyly of Theobroma is only weakly supported. The monophyly of all currently recognized sections of both genera was supported with the exception of Theobroma section Glossopetalum within which was nested the monotypic section Andropetalum. The analysis sheds light on the morphological diversification of these closely related genera and serves to demonstrate the potential phylogenetic utility of vicilin.}
