@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref16616, author = {Lucinda A. McDade and Thomas F. Daniel and Carrie A.

(Lamiales)}, year = {2008}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {American Journal of Botany}, volume = {}, number = {}, pages = {}, abstract = {The large (ca. 4000 species), pan-tropical and subtropical family Acanthacaee (Asteridae: Lamiales) encompasses a rich range of morphological diversity, habitat preferences and biogeographic patterns. This is the first phylogenetic study to include representatives of all known lineages of Acanthaceae. Also included were all but xx genera whose relationships have remained enigmatic despite recent advances in delimiting major lineages of acanths. Results place all of the newly sampled taxa with strong support, notably expanding our understanding of Whitfieldieae and Barlerieae where most of the newly treated genera are placed. Almost all aspects of the phylogenetic framework of Acanthaceae are resolved with extremely strong support, including placement of Andrographideae sister to Barlerieae and inclusion of the black mangroves Avicennia in the family. However, banch support for the region of the phylogeny proximate to Lankesteria and Neuracanthus is weak (although both of these genera are strongly supported as monophyletic). This study provides a foundation for future phylogenetic and comparative work, informing lineage choice and sampling strategy while also pointing to aspects of relationship that require further phylogenetic study.} }
