rbc
L sequence data indicate a close affinity between
Diegodendron
and
Bixa.
‐ Taxon 47: 43–50. 1998. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.
Diegodendron humbertii
Capuron (
Diegodendraceae
Capuron) is endemic to Madagascar. The family is monospecific, and whereas various affinities have been suggested, its phylogenetic position has remained unclear. Analysis of
rbc
L sequence data indicates a close relationship to
Bixa.
Together these taxa form a monophyletic group with a somewhat more distant relationship to other groups of
Malvales
s.l. including
Cochlospermaceae. Cochlospermaceae (Cochlospermum
and
Amoreuxia)
should be maintained as a family distinct from
Bixaceae
but if
Bixaceae
are expanded to include
Cochlospermaceae
they should also include
Diegodendron.
DNA extraction from herbarium specimens, involving modifications to the standard extraction and amplification techniques, is described. |
