Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data from the transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ETS, ITS) indicate that section Carnosa Jacq.-F?l. (1 sp., East-Africa and Madagascar) is a divergent element that is best treated at the subgeneric level. Its sister-group is subgenus Warneckea in which the analyses found three major lineages together forming a basal trichotomy. These three lineages represent section Strychnoidea (western and central Africa), section Warneckea (East-Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius), and a third group with three West-African species (W. fascicularis, W. guineensis, and W. mangrovensis) comprising the newly proposed section Guineensea.} }
