- Abstract
We investigated the phylogeny of a Holarctic-Asian group of Frullania species, the Frullania dilatata- F. appalachiana- F. eboracensis complex, using multiple accessions of morphologically circumscribed taxa and three molecular markers (nrITS region, cp DNA trnL-F and atpB- rbcL regions). Maximum parsimony and likelihood analyses indicated monophyly of morphologically defined taxa. Our phylogenies support a species rather than a subspecies concept within the complex, with four species in North America ( F. appalachiana, F. eboracensis, F. parvistipula and F. virginica), and two species in Europe ( F. dilatata and F. parvistipula). Accessions of F. dilatata from Southeast Europe and Asia are separated from other European accessions, indicating a former disjunct range of the species.
