- Abstract
Monophyly and phylogeny of MenonvUlea were studied using molecular phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal (ITS) and chloroplast (trnL-F) DNA sequences. The phylogenies obtained were contrasted with the morphology of the genus. MenonvUlea, excluding M. rollinsii, is monophyletic, and this species is sister to Cremolobus. Molecular and morphological data support the segregation of M. rollinsii into the new genus Aimara. Within the MenonvUlea clade, three strongly supported and morphologically well-defined lineages were obtained. The geographical distribution of Aimara and the MenonvUlea lin-eages are discussed.
