Phylogenetic relationships of the recently discovered species — Clivia mirabilis
F Conrad, G Reeves, JP Rourke
Abstract
A phylogenetic study of Clivia, including
the newly described species, Clivia mirabilis, recently discovered
in the Northern Cape, was carried out to elucidate the relationship of this
geographically isolated taxon to the remaining four species. DNA sequence
data were collected from four non-coding plastid regions: the rpoBtrnC intergenic
spacer, the rps16 intron, the trnL intron and the trnL-F intergenic
spacer (the latter two collectively known as the trnL-F region). In
the combined tree C. mirabilis is placed as sister to a clade comprising
the other four taxa.
