摘要
Comparative sequence data for the chloroplast encoded rbcL gene has been obtained for species representing the basal lineages in the proposed phylogeny of Powell et al. (Annals of Botany 77: 305-315, 1996), with the aim of testing the delimitation of the family and the validity of the supra-generic taxa proposed, and estimating relationships within the family. Cladistic analyses indicate that Epacridaceae sensu Powell et al. (1996) is not monophyletic. Lebetanthus, a monotypic genus from South America commonly placed within the family, mostly near the Tasmanian endemic Prionotes. is shown to be closer to Gaultheria ia and other members of the ericaceous tribe Andromedeae. The hypothetical phylogeny of Powell et al. (1996) is evaluated in the light of this preliminary analysis of relationships within the Family. The data do not support the recognition of the two subfamilies, Richeoideae and Epacridoideae, of Watson (New Phytologist 66: 495-504, 1967). (C) 1996 Annals of Botany Company
