    We discussed the typification of the name Saxifraga yuparensis applicable to an alpine plant described from Hokkaido, northern Japan. The holotype is not found in the cited herbarium and other herbaria related to Nosaka. No isotypes or paratypes were cited in its protologue, and no other uncited specimens are unambiguously deduced to have been used by Nosaka when describing the species and do not comprise the original material (Art. 9.4 of the Botanical Code). Therefore, an illustration (Fig. 11 in Nosaka 1974) published as part of the protologue is the only original material that can be chosen in lectotype designation in conformity with Art. 9.12. The illustration is here designated as the lectotype for the name.

    Here we describe a natural hybrid of Philippine Begonia from Bulabog Puti-an National Park in Dingle, Iloilo, Panay Island. The hybrid, named Begonia ×dinglensis after its place of origin, grows on moist, coralline-rock slopes at 200 m elevation. Morphological, molecular, and cytological evidence support its origin from natural hybridization between Philippine endemics B. camiguinensis and B. nigritarum.

    ABSTRACT In northeast Asia, substantial portion of the floras, including endangered species, are shared among its component countries in the continental, peninsula, and island parts largely through Quaternary migration. To effectively conserve nationally endangered plants in Northeast Asia, transnational conservation studies are vitally needed. Lychnis wilfordii (Caryophyllaceae) has disjunct distribution in Russian Far East (Primorsky Krai), northeast China (Jilin), Korea (Gangwon-do) and Japan (Hokkaido, Aomori, Nagano), surrounding the sea, and this is designated as an endangered species in Japan and Korea. Population genetic and molecular dating analyses were conducted 1) to elucidate geographic genetic structure covering the species range, 2) to test possible scenarios of migration, and 3) to develop logical plans for effective conservation. Population genetic analyses indicated the continent and peninsula parts (north and south Primorsky Krai, Jilin, and Gangwon-do) had higher genetic diversity compared to those in the Japanese Archipelago (Hokkaido and Nagano). Five genetically distinct groups were recognized, namely, Nagano, Gangwon-do, Jilin, north and south Primorsky Krai plus Aomori, and Hokkaido. Genetic distance between Hokkaido and Nagano was larger than between Hokkaido and north Primorsky Krai, and between Nagano and Gangwon-do, crossing national borders and the natural barrier of the sea. Considering these results, L. wilfordii likely migrated from the Asian continent to the Japanese Archipelago using two routes: north route from Russian Far East to Hokkaido and Aomori, and south route from the Korean Peninsula to Nagano. Based on molecular dating, migration from the continent to the islands likely occurred from the middle Pleistocene to the Holocene. For effective conservation of L. wilfordii, Hokkaido and Nagano populations should be distinguished as different evolutionary significant units, although these two regions belong to the same country, because Hokkaido and Nagano populations are at the different ends of the two migratory routes based on the migration scenario.

    © 2018 Magnolia Press. An alpine plant Saxifraga yuparensis is endemic to a scree consisting of greenschist of Mt. Yubari in Hokkaido, Japan and it has been proposed as an immediate hybrid derived from two species of the same section Bronchiales based on morphological intermediacy: namely S. nishidae, a diploid species endemic to a nearby cliff composed of greenschist and tetraploid S. rebunshirensis comparatively broadly distributed in Japan and Russian Far East. Saxifraga yuparensis is red-listed and it is crucial for conservation planning to clarify whether this is an immediate hybrid and lacks a unique gene pool. The immediate-hybrid hypothesis was tested by molecular and cytological data. In nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast DNA trees based on maximum parsimony and Bayesian criteria, S. yuparensis and S. rebunshirensis formed a clade with several other congeners while S. nishidae formed another distinct clade. Genome-wide SNP data clearly separated these three species in principal coordinate space, placing S. yuparensis not in-between of S. rebunshirensis and S. nishidae. Chromosome observation indicated that S. yuparensis is tetraploid, not triploid directly derived from diploid-tetraploid crossing. Additionally, observation of herbarium specimens revealed that leaf apex shape of S. yuparensis fell within the variation of S. rebunshirensis. These results indicate that S. yuparensis is not an immediate hybrid of S. rebunshirensis and S. nishidae but a distinct lineage and an extremely narrow endemic species, that deserves for intensive conservation.

    Fourteen flavonols, four flavones and six isoflavones were isolated from the aerial parts of two Japanese Glycine species, G. tabacina and G. koidzumii, and the leaves of Taiwanese G. max subsp. formosana. Of their flavonoids, twelve flavonols were identified as kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside (1), 3-O-rutinoside (2), 3-O-robinobioside (3) and 3-O-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-[rhamnosyl-(1→6)-galactoside] (4), quercetin 3-O-gentiobioside (5), 3-O-glucoside (6), 3-O-galactoside (7), 3-O-rutinoside (8), 3-O-robinobioside (9) and 3-O-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-[rhamnosyl-(1→6)-galactoside] (10), and isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside (11) and 3-O-robinobioside (12). Other two flavonols were characterized as isorhamnetin 3-O-rhamnosylrhamnosylglucoside (13) and 3-O-rhamnosylrhamnosylgalactoside (14). Four flavones and six isoflavones were estimated as schaftoside (15), apigenin 6,8-di-C-arabinoside (16), luteolin 7-O-glucoside (17) and chrysoeriol 7-O-glucoside (18), and daidzein 7-O-glucoside (19), 4´-O-glucoside (20) and 7-O-xylosylglucoside (21), genistein 7-O-glucoside (22) and 4´-O-glucoside (23), and 3´-O-methylorobol 7-O-glucoside (24). Although flavonoid composition of G. tabacina and G. koidzumii was similar to each other, that of G. max subsp. formosana was different with those of two Japanese Glycine species described above. Flavonoids of their Glycine species were reported for the first time except for those of G. tabacina.

    We explored the temporal and spatial diversification of the plant genus Sedum L. (Crassulaceae) in Taiwan based on molecular analysis of nrITS and cpDNA sequences from East Asian Sedum members. Our phylogenetic and ancestral area reconstruction analysis showed that Taiwanese Sedum comprised two lineages that independently migrated from Japan and Eastern China. Furthermore, the genetic distances among species in these two clades were smaller than those of other East Asian Sedum clades, and the Taiwanese members of each Glade occupy extremely varied habitats with similar niches in high-mountain regions. These data indicate that species diversification occurred in parallel in the two Taiwanese Sedum lineages, and that these parallel radiations could have occurred within the small continental island of Taiwan. Moreover, the estimated time of divergence for Taiwanese Sedum indicates that the two radiations might have been correlated to the formation of mountains in Taiwan during the early Pleistocene. We suggest that these parallel radiations may be attributable to the geographical dynamics of Taiwan and specific biological features of Sedum that allow them to adapt to new ecological niches.

    Neolitsea sericea (Lauraceae), endemic to East Asian land-bridge islands, is an economically important tree species because of its characteristic aroma and timber uses. However, due to the lack of efficient molecular markers, the genetic diversity and historical demography of this endemic species is not clearly understood. In this study, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of N. sericea leaves using the Illumina HiSeq (TM) 2000 sequencing platform, and generated large transcript sequences for functional characterization and development of gene-associated SSR markers. A total of 68,624 unigenes (mean length 733 bp) were assembled from about 54.7 million reads, and 41,130 (59.94 %) unigenes of all the assembled unigenes showed similarity to public databases. From 68,624 unigenes, 13,213 expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) were identified. Di-nucleotide SSRs were the most abundant motif (36.5 %), followed bymono-(32.3 %) and tri-nucleotide (26.5 %) repeats. From the 13,213 EST-SSRs, 1191 primer pairs were designed for marker mining. After selecting 131 of these pairs at random for further validation, 13 polymorphic pairs were identified as polymorphic SSR loci. These 13 EST-SSR markers showed intermediate levels of genetic diversity (e.g., N-A = 7.15; mean H-E = 0.51) when surveyed across six populations from East China (2), Taiwan (1), Korea (1), and the Ryukyus (1) and Honshu (1) of Japan. Both genetic distance and STRUCTURE analyses identified two genetic clusters largely congruent with recent findings revealed by variations in chloroplast DNA sequences and genomic SSRs. The EST-SSR markers developed in our research will be an information resource for future studies on ecological, evolutionary, and conservation genomics in N. sericea.

    Molecular phylogenetic analyses, morphological observations, and nomenclatural studies were carried out to investigate the taxonomic status of Portulaca boninensis, endemic species from the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands (Japan). The results addressed controversy between the widely naturalized P. boninensis and P. pilosa, indicating that they are phylogenetically and morphologically distinct. Furthermore, P. boninensis was showed to be conspecific to P. psammotropha which is until now recorded in southern China, Taiwan, and the northern Philippines, but not in the Ryukyus. The name of P. psammotropha was lectotypified on a specimen preserved at K. Based on phylogeography, P. psammotropha likely migrated to the Oceanic Bonin Islands oversea by sea-current dispersal or by exo-and/or end ozoochory through migratory birds without passing through Ryukyus.

    Background: Psychotria cephalophora Merr. (Rubiaceae), a shrub in oceanic islands of Taiwan and the Philippines, appears to be distylous, but distyly is usually rare on oceanic islands. To elucidate the functional breeding system of P. cephalophora can improve our understanding of plant reproductive ecology on oceanic islands. Results: Field investigations on Lanyu (Orchid Island) off the coast of southeastern Taiwan revealed the flowers to be distylous with short (S)-and long (L)-styled morphs, with only one morph per individual. Laboratory observations revealed that both morphs had stainable pollen grains and indicated dimorphism in stigmatic papillae and pollen size. In hand pollination experiments, the pollen tubes reached the base of the style in intermorph crossing, whereas they rarely penetrated stylar tissue in intramorph crossing and selfing. Open pollinated S- and L-styled flowers produced fruit. Conclusions: The results indicate that the breeding system of P. cephalophora is morphologically and functionally distylous.

    In continental island biogeography, geologically age-old straits have been considered to be the most likely barriers in determining geographical patterns of speciation/genetic differentiation among islands. Straits with similar ages may have had different influences if geographical width across the straits had fluctuated differently in the past. However, this issue has seldom been discussed. We explored it by studying the Viola iwagawaetashiroi species complex in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan. The archipelago is divided into three island groups, the northern, central, and southern Ryukyus, by two old straits called the Tokara and Kerama gaps, which are roughly of the same age. Bayesian and maximum parsimony phylogenetic analyses of section Plagiostigma and Bayesian molecular dating using multiple calibration points were conducted based on nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. To reveal the detailed genealogy of the species complex, statistical parsimony networks were estimated separately for the ITS and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequences and a calibrated multispecies coalescent tree based on both ITS and cpDNA sequences was constructed. Results suggest that the V. iwagawae-tashiroi species complex originated in the Ryukyu Archipelago when this region formed part of the East Asian continental margin or was formed by a few larger islands and that the complex was already distributed across the archipelago by the late Pliocene-early Pleistocene. Divergence time estimations suggest that the Kerama Gap has been a long-term effective barrier to dispersal preventing gene flow across it, whereas recent dispersal over the Tokara Gap was inferred. These contrasting results are likely explained by the fact that the minimum geographical width across the straits is geohistorically and currently greater over the Kerama Gap than at the Tokara Gap.

    A new species Ixeridium calcicola (Compositae) endemic to middle altitude (ca 1,000-2,000 m asl) limestone mountains of eastcentral Taiwan is described based on morphological and chromosome cytological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Ixeridium calcicola resembles Ixeridium transnokoense, endemic to upper montane and alpine ranges (2,600-3,500 m asl) of Taiwan, in the dwarf habit, but differs in the oblong to lanceolate leaf blades (vs. linear to linear-lanceolate), the presence of mucronulate teeth on the leaf margin and petiole (vs. smooth to very sparse), the dark purple lower leaf surface (vs. greenish), the capitulum with 10 to 12 florets (vs. 5 to 7) and 8 to 10 inner phyllaries (vs. 5, rarely to 7). The basic chromosome number in Ixeridium was known as X = 7. However, the new species has a basic chromosome number of X = 8, as recorded also in the closely related Ixeris. Molecular phylogenetic analyses with the expanded sampling of Ixeridium and Ixeris including both type species supported the monophyly of each of the genera and the placement of the new species in Ixeridium. The result of the phylogenetic analyses and detailed observation of the chromosome morphology revealed that X = 8 in Ixeridium calcicola is derived from centric fission in an ancestral karyomorphotype with X = 7 in Ixeridium. Ixeridium calcicola and Ixeridium transnokoense formed a Taiwan endemic lineage and their estimated divergence time was in the middle Pleistocene. Their common ancestral lineage may have experienced altitudinal distribution shifts in response to glacial-interglacial temperature fluctuation, and a lineage which had not retreated to alpine ranges in an interglacial period likely survived in a limestone refugium, where ordinary plant species did not grow, leading to allopatric speciation.

    Our molecular phylogeographic analyses based on the nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnLF of Sedum tosaense populations in the Shikoku District, Japan and Jeju Island, Korea suggested a disjunct distribution. Plants of S. tosaense from the two regions comprised a well-supported clade consisted of plants from Kochi (Shikoku District) and those from Jeju Island; we estimated a divergence time of 0.61 Ma between the Kochi and Jeju populations based on the ITS and partial trnLF. We conclude that: 1) S. tosaense has a disjunct distribution between Kochi and Jeju Island, and 2) plants of this species might have dispersed between Kochi and Jeju Island over water, but not via a land bridge, which flooded before subclade divergence.

    In East and Southeast Asian islands, forest area is decreasing and population size of multiple Ophiorrhiza species (Rubiaceae) is diminishing. Here we report the first expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite markers, which can be applied to wide range of species of the genus. We developed 38 tri- and tetra-nucleotide microsatellite markers based on nonredundant unigenes of O. pumila and tested polymorphism of nine markers using the phylogenetically distant congener O. japonica (n = 96). The number of alleles ranged from 4 to 9. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged 0.044-0.631 and 0.096-0.674, respectively. The polymorphic information content ranged 0.094-0.626. No null allele, significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, or significant linkage disequilibrium was observed. Additional tests of cross-species amplification with three other congeners were successful in the nine markers. These markers will be used to investigate genetic diversity and differentiation of island populations of multiple Ophiorrhiza species to build conservation plans.

    Background: Continental China is the center of Begonia species diversity in Asia and contains more than 60 species out of about 110 named species of section Platycentrum. Mt. Jinyun, located in Chongqing City at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, harbors a subtropical broadleaved forest with high species diversity. During a botanical survey in Mt. Jinyun, an unknown Begonia species of sect. Platycentrum with palmately compound leaves was collected and studied based on detailed morphological observations and cytological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Results: The unknown Begonia bears a superficial resemblance to B. hemsleyana in having palmately compound leaves, a feature unseen in other species of sect. Platycentrum in China. It is however sharply distinct from the latter in the acaulous habit with aerial stems seen only at anthesis and long rhizomes (vs. erect stems to 70 cm or taller with short rhizomes), 4-6 pinnatilobed leaflets with indistinct, decurrent petiolules (vs. 7-10 serrate leaflets with distinct petiolules), and white (vs. pink) tepals. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA sequences indicated that this species was allied to Platycentrum species occurring in Southwest and South-central China and Vietnam, including B. hemsleyana, and clearly separable from these species. Somatic chromosome number of 2n = 22 was reported for this unknown species. The diploid chromosome number is agreeable with those published for Begonia sect. Platycentrum. Conclusions: The unknown Begonia is confirmed to be a new species of sect. Platycentrum and hereto described as Begonia jinyunensis C.-I Peng, B. Ding & Q. Wang.

    Species of Podophyllum, Dysosma, Sinopodophyllum, and Diphylleia, genera from Podophylloideae of Berberidaceae, have long been used in traditional herbal medicine in East Asia and/or North America. Accurate identification of the species of these four genera is crucial to their medicinal uses. In this study, we tested the utility of nine barcodes (matK, rbcL, atpH-atpI, rpl32-trnL(UAG), rps18-clpp, trnL-trnF, trnL-ndhJ, trnS-trnfM, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)) to discriminate different species of Podophylloideae. Thirty-six individuals representing 12 species of Podophylloideae were collected from different locations in China, Japan, and North America. We assessed the feasibility of amplification and sequencing of all markers, examined the levels of the barcoding gap based onDNA sequence divergence between ranges of intra-and interspecific variation using pairwise distances, and further evaluated successful identifications using each barcode by similarity-based and tree-based methods. Results showed that nine barcodes, except rps18-clpp, have a high level of primer universality and sequencing success. As a single barcode, ITS has the most variable sites, greater intra-and interspecific divergences, and the highest species discrimination rate (83%), followed by matK which has moderate variation and also high species discrimination rates. However, these species can also be discriminated by ITS alone, except Dysosma versipellis (Hance) M. Cheng ex T. S. Ying and D. pleiantha (Hance) Woodson. The combination of ITS+matK did not improve species resolution over ITS alone. Thus, we propose that ITS may be used as a sole region for identification of most species in Podophylloideae. The failure of ITS to distinguish D. versipellis and D. pleiantha is likely attributed to incomplete lineage sorting due to recent divergence of the two species.

    Ophiorrhiza japonica (Rubiaceae) in Taiwan shows altitudinal morphological differentiation, suggesting altitudinal genetic differentiation. However, global warming and/or road building are possibly causing human-mediated altitudinal gene flow and genetic disturbance. To investigate this possibility, we developed the first nuclear microsatellite markers for the genus. Using the low-cost compound microsatellite marker technique, 17 markers were developed and nine markers were polymorphic. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from 2 to 13. At population level, observed (H (o) ) and expected (H (e) ) heterozygosities ranged 0.070-0.831 and 0.068-0.812, respectively. The polymorphic information content ranged 0.066-0.787. No null allele, significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, or significant linkage disequilibrium was observed. The 17 marker loci were successfully PCR-amplified in three congeneric species except for three cases. The developed microsatellite markers will be used to investigate genetic structure and gene flow among O. japonica populations at different altitudes.

    Equatorward contraction and re-expansion during and after the last glacial maximum has been reported for temperate plants, but little is known about latitudinal shifts of tropical plants in insular Asia. We used molecular methods to test the post-glacial migration hypothesis for Begonia fenicis at the northern limit of tropical insular Asia, namely, the northern Philippines, southern Taiwan and the southern Ryukyus of Japan. Based on internal transcribed spacer sequences, analyses of phylogeographical structure suggested long-term survival of island populations and negated recent northward migration; demographic analyses indicated spatial expansion in the early Pleistocene and subsequent stable demography. Based on nuclear microsatellites, Bayesian clustering and other spatial analyses indicated inter-island differentiation, and coalescent analysis of migration indicated the lack of inter-island migration during and after the last glacial maximum. Our results refuted the postglacial migration hypothesis for B. fenicis and suggest in situ survival through the last glacial maximum. The stable historical distribution and demography are probably attributable to the Kuroshio Current bringing warm and humid air, which washed these islands even during the glacial periods. Additionally, because these are low islands, absence of competition with montane plants descending to the lowlands during cooler periods may have mitigated the influence of temperature lowering and facilitated their survival.

    We describe Begonia tandangii, a new species of Begonia sect. Baryandra from the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of Luzon Island, the Philippines. Begonia tandangii has a close resemblance to B. fenicis in gross morphology, differing in having leaf margin sparsely fringed with minute hairs (vs. glabrous or with minute hairs only on teeth) and capsules with broadly-ovate outline and an acuminate apex (vs. capsules with broadly-obovate outline and a rounded to truncate apex). Phylogenetic analyses of Philippines species of sect. Baryandra based on ITS sequences revealed that B. tandangii was clearly separated from B. fenicis. Begonia tandangii is currently known only from the type locality in a coastal forest of Baler, Aurora Province, which is in the neighborhood of Aurora Memorial National Park.

    We used molecular phylogenetic and morphological data to reexamine the taxonomic status of Portulaca okinawensis (equivalent to P. pilosa subsp. okinawensis) endemic to the central Ryukyu islands, southwestern Japan. Our molecular analyses showed that P. okinawensis is monophyletic, sister to the clade of P. psammotropha and P. tuberosa and it is not closely related to P. pilosa subsp. pilosa. Two subclades, one comprising plants from the Okinawa Islands and the other from the Amami Islands, were recognized. The plants from the Okinawa Islands had more than 20 stamens, orange-yellow nallowly obovate to oblanceolate petals, and reddish-green stems (as the holotype), while the plants from the Amami Islands had less than 20 stamens, lemon-colored obovate petals, and bright-green stems. The molecular and morphological data support a taxonomic treatment of Walker & Tawada (1951) regarding P. okinawensis as a separate species, also suggesting that the plants from the Amami and Okinawa islands should be treated as different taxa. A new variety Portulaca okinawensis var. amamiensis was here described.

    Youngia japonica, the type species for its genus, has the widest distribution in the genus and is invasive worldwide. Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supported recognition of three ecologically differentiated entities: Y. japonica subsp. formosana, Y. japonica subsp. japonica, and an undescribed morphological variant thought to be a new subspecies in Taiwan. These are the only infraspecific taxa currently recognized in this morphologically variable species. Use of proper names for these taxa and related species is important for future revision of Y. japonica in other regions, for nomenclature and biogeography of the genus, and for activities to control its invasiveness. Careful examination of the holotype of Y. japonica subsp. formosana and relevant literature revealed that the name has long been misapplied to Youngia in mountain ranges in Taiwan; it should be applied to the morphological variant growing on littoral, raised coral reefs in southwestern Taiwan. The misidentified entity is here described as Youngia japonica subsp. monticola. In addition, Y. taiwaniana was treated as a synonym of Y. longiflora (equivalent to Y. japonica subsp. longiflora) in the Flora of Taiwan, but the holotype has achenes with a long beak and does not belong to Youngia. It is here treated as a synonym of Ixeridium laevigatum. A key to Youngia in Taiwan is provided.

    An antitropical distribution represents an intriguing disjunction, in which a given species or sister lineages occupy regions north and south of the tropics but are absent from the intervening areas. Solenogyne mikadoi endemic to the Ryukyu Archipelago is regarded as an Australian element. Testing the phylogenetic relationship with Australian congeners and discussing the onset timing and causes of the disjunction would potentially enhance the understanding of antitropical distribution. A nuclear ribosomal DNA phylogeny was reconstructed using Bayesian and most parsimonious criteria with allied genera. Solenogyne was monophyletic and clustered with Lagenophora huegelii endemic to Australia, indicating the antitropical distribution and Australian origin of Solenogyne. Multispecies coalescent analysis based on nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA indicated the divergence of S. mikadoi and Australian congeners in the Plio-Pleistocene. Phylogenetic network analyses suggested that the ancestral lineage of S. mikadoi first colonized the southernmost island in the archipelago and then dispersed northward. The migration to the archipelago likely followed the flourishing of Solenogyne in open vegetation communities that radiated in south-eastern Australia during the late Pliocene. This disjunction might arise through long-distance dispersal across the tropics or, alternatively, through extinction in the tropics as a result of unsuitably high temperatures during climate oscillation and/or competitions from diverse tropical flora surviving since the early Tertiary.

    Morphological comparisons and molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted to resolve taxonomic confusion in Cassytha glabella and C. pubescens, both of which were first described from Australia and subsequently considered to be disjunctly distributed between Australia and the Ryukyu Archipelago of Japan. In the morphological comparisons, plants considered as C. pubescens in the Ryukyus differ from C. pubescens in Australia in the presence or absence of hairs on the petals, and those considered as C. glabella in the Ryukyus differ from the C. glabella in Australia in bract and peduncle morphology. The molecular analyses indicated that plants attributed to C. pubescens in the Ryukyus were not closely related to C. pubescens in Australia, and were nested in a clade of populations of a Pan-Western Pacific species C. filiformis. Plants attributed to C. glabella in the Ryukyus were distantly related to C. glabella in Australia. We concluded that plants considered as C. pubescens and C. glabella in the Ryukyus are to be respectively treated as C. filiformis and the Ryukyu endemic species C. pergracilis.

    Aim Our goals were: (1) to assess the population genetic structure and demographic divergence history of a bird-dispersed tree, Neolitsea sericea, endemic to East Asian land-bridge islands; and (2) to interpret the results in the light of controversies over the dating and configurations of land bridges through the Japanese Ryukyu Island Arc. Location JapanRyukyuTaiwan Island Arc and Chinese/Korean offshore islands. Methods We applied 10 nuclear microsatellites (nSSRs) and one chloroplast (cp) DNA sequence marker (psbAtrnH intergenic spacer) to 31 populations (397 and 326 individuals, respectively) from throughout the species range to infer current patterns of genetic diversity and structure, and pollen-to-seed migration ratios (r). A coalescent-based isolation-with-migration (IM) model was applied to the combined nSSR/cpDNA data set to estimate lineage divergence times and population demographic parameters. Results The geographic structure of nSSRs and the distribution of most cpDNA haplotypes revealed two distinct lineages located in areas north and south of the Tokara Gap, a narrow (c. 37 km wide) but deep (> 1000 m) sea-strait between the northern and central Ryukyus. Based on the IM analyses, we (1) dated the divergence of these northern and southern lineages to c. 0.07 Ma (90% highest posterior density interval: 0.020.38 Ma); (2) estimated a slightly smaller effective population size for the northern compared to the southern lineage; and (3) recovered only trivial signals of post-divergence gene flow between them. Main conclusions The estimated divergence time for northern and southern lineages is consistent with geological evidence for the existence of land connections in the Tokara region during cold stages of the latest Pleistocene; it is thus incompatible with an ancient sea-barrier hypothesis for the Ryukyu Arc, where we would have expected much older divergences related to the initial formation of the Tokara and Kerama tectonic straits during the Pliocene. Multiple factors are likely to have had a role in the divergence of N. sericea, including not only land-bridge submergence, but also island configuration, and/or constraints on adaptation along a latitudinal temperature gradient.

    Weeds with broad distributions and large morphological variation are challenging for systematists and evolutionarily intriguing because their intensive dispersal would likely prevent local morphological differentiation. Study on weeds will help to understand divergence in plants unlikely to be affected by geographical and ecological barriers. We studied Youngia japonica based on nrDNA and cpDNA sequences. This is a widespread native in Asia and invasive worldwide: nevertheless, three subspecies (japonica, longiflora, and formosana) and an undescribed variant occur in Taiwan. Bayesian and the most parsimonious phylogenies revealed that subspecies longiflora is a different linage and independently arrived in Taiwan during the Pleistocene via land connection to the Asian Continent. Bayesian time estimation suggested that Youngia in Taiwan diverged in the lower Pleistocene or more recently. Extreme habitats that emerged in the Pleistocene, i.e., cold mountain ranges for subspecies formosana and xeric, raised coral reefs for the undescribed Youngia variant probably had triggered the divergence. Components of Youngia in Taiwan are not monophyletic; a coalescent-based test suggested incomplete lineage sorting. Nevertheless, the samples within each taxon share unique morphological features suggesting a common gene pool and each taxon has different dominant ITS and/or cpDNA types; these conditions suggest ongoing process toward monophyly via coalescent processes and support the delimitation of intraspecific taxa.

    Premise of the study: Microsatellite primers were developed for a heterostylous herb, Hedyotis chrysotricha to investigate the effect of habitat fragmentation on its genetic diversity and population structure. Methods and Results: Twelve primer sets were developed and their polymorphisms were tested on 47 individuals from two island populations of H. chrysotricha in Thousand Island Lake of China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 10, with an average of seven alleles. Expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.284 to 0.821 and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.191 to 0.851. Conclusions: We showed that all of the 12 microsatellite markers developed for H. chrysotricha are polymorphic within populations, which should provide a powerful tool for assessing population structure and genetic diversity across fragmented and continuous populations, and for studying the genetic effects of habitat fragmentation on this species.

    We tested the antitropical distribution of Lobelia loochooensis, endemic to the Ryukyu Archipelago of Japan, and its putative sister species of the same section Hypsela in Oceania (Australia and New Zealand). Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on cpDNA sequences were conducted for 41 Lobelia species of 11 sections including all the species of sect. Hypsela investigated in Asia and Malesia and 32 species of 16 allied genera of family Campanulaceae, because the genus Lobelia is known to be polyphyletic. In the result, L. loochooensis and an Australian endemic L. fluviatilis formed a clade, and this clade was sister to a clade of four New Zealand endemics: L. carens, L. fatiscens, L. fugax and L. ionantha. These two clades were nested in a clade with two other Australian congeners. We conclude that: (1) the lineage of L. loochooensis and the five Lobelia species occurring in Oceania demonstrate an antitropical distribution pattern; and (2) L. loochooensis has likely originated from a dispersal event from Australia to the Ryukyu Archipelago.

    Premise of the study: We developed compound microsatellite markers for Begonia fenicis, a species endemic to eastern and southeastern Asian islands, to investigate geographical genetic structure. Methods and Results: Using the compound microsatellite marker technique, 21 markers were developed and six polymorphic markers were characterized for samples from four islands in Taiwan and southern Japan. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to six (mean = 4.33). Observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.125-0.725 (0.383) and 0.498-0.719 (0.641), and polymorphic information content was 0.371-0.664 (0.567). The interspecific transferability of the 21 markers was evaluated for eight species of the section Diploclinium from the Philippines; 15 markers were successfully amplified in one to eight species. Conclusions: These results indicate the utility of the six microsatellite markers in B. fenicis to investigate geographical genetic structure. The transferable markers are potentially useful for other species of the section.

    Premise of the study: The development of compound microsatellite markers was conducted in Neolitsea sericea to investigate genetic diversity and population genetic structure of this endangered insular species. Methods and Results: Using the compound microsatellite marker technique, 10 compound microsatellite markers that were successfully amplified showed polymorphism when assessed in 55 individuals from two populations in East China and Japan. Overall, the number of alleles ranged from 3 to 17, with an average of 7.9 alleles per locus. In addition, these primers could be easily amplified in Neolitsea aurata var. paraciculata and N. aurata var. chekiangensis. Conclusions: The highly polymorphic markers developed and characterized in this study will be useful for population genetic studies of N. sericea.

    Aim Phylogeographical patterns in the Ryukyu Archipelago have been explained primarily by landbridge formation and the opening of two straits in the Pliocene, namely the Tokara and Kerama gaps. These old straits have been considered to be the barriers most likely to determine genetic boundaries. To test this, we conducted a molecular analysis of the herb Ophiorrhiza japonica. We discuss the causes of and processes involved in its phylogeographical structure and explore aspects of island separation other than the duration of the straits to explain genetic boundaries at the gaps. Location Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan. Methods Plants were collected from 40 localities in the archipelago and vicinity. Non-coding regions of chloroplast DNA were sequenced. The genealogical relationships among haplotypes were estimated using a statistical parsimony network. To examine the phylogeographical structure, we compared two parameters of population differentiation, namely G(ST) and N(ST), and conducted correlation analysis of genetic and geographical distances. Genetic boundaries were identified using Monmonier's maximum difference algorithm. To test vicariance-dispersal hypotheses, that is, vicariance after migration via the Pliocene landbridge or over-sea dispersal in the Pleistocene, molecular dating analysis was conducted. Results A statistical parsimony network revealed that the haplotypes from the Ryukyu Archipelago and northwards coalesce to one ancestral haplotype in Taiwan. A clear phylogeographical structure was observed: plants within the same population and populations in geographical proximity were phylogenetically close. A genetic boundary was recognized across the Kerama Gap, but not across the Tokara Gap. Dating analysis suggested that population divergence across the Kerama Gap occurred in the early to late Pleistocene. Main conclusions The statistical parsimony network suggests migration from Taiwan and northward range expansion in the archipelago. Based on the divergence time, over-sea dispersal in the Pleistocene is likely, although migration via a Pliocene landbridge is not totally rejected. Negligible genetic differentiation across the Tokara Gap suggests recent over-sea dispersal, possibly facilitated by the small geographical width of the gap. Conversely, the large genetic differentiation across the Kerama Gap is probably explained by the large geographical distance across it. The past splitting of a landbridge would have had a significant influence on population differentiation after a certain geographical distance was reached.

    Phylogenetic analyses were performed using nrITS variations of eight species including one variety of the genus Lysimachia sect. Nummularla in Japan and Taiwan, with another 34 Lysimachia species and Glaux maritime obtained from a DNA database. Among the four dwarf-leaf taxa in Japan and Taiwan, L. japonica var. minutissima of Japan and two Taiwanese species were placed into two different clades: and L. liukiuensis of Japan, was positioned outside of these two clades. These results suggest that three independent dwarfism events generated the four dwarf-leaf taxa; and that there were likely multiple migration events from China to Japan and Taiwan.

    Floristic differentiation in the Ryukyu Archipelago has been explained primarily by geohistory, specifically landbridge formation and vicariance at the Tokara and Kerama Gaps, two deep-sea channels through the island arc. This ignores current environmental effects, which may also be important. We therefore tested whether the floristic differentiation pattern is explained primarily by the historical effect of the gaps as barriers, or whether a better understanding of floristic differentiation is achieved when both historical and current environmental factors are incorporated. Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan: an assemblage of continental islands. We compiled a presence-absence matrix of 1815 plant species on 26 islands. Floristic dissimilarity distances between islands were calculated using Simpson's similarity index and analysed using cluster analysis. We also conducted multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) to examine the significance of the historical factors of the gaps and current environmental factors: geographical distance among islands and differences in island area and maximum elevation. We detected clear patterns of floristic differentiation across the gaps. Using the two gaps as explanatory variables, the MRM showed that both had significant effects on floristic dissimilarity distance. However, when geographical distance was added to the explanatory model, the Kerama Gap effect disappeared. When all five explanatory variables were used, the Tokara Gap and geographical distance had positive effects, but area difference had a negative effect. The Kerama Gap and difference in maximum elevation had no effect. The geographical pattern of floristic differentiation appears to indicate the influence of both gaps. However, the MRM indicates that the floristic differentiation across the Kerama Gap is no more than could be explained solely by geographical distance. Across the Tokara Gap, however, floristic differentiation is larger than geographical distance alone can explain. This additional differentiation is attributable to the effect of the historical barrier. To verify the significance of historical effects of vicariance on island biota, the confounding effects of geographical distance must be considered. The distance decay of floristic similarity and negative effect of area difference on floristic differentiation demonstrate that floristic differentiation is better understood by incorporating both historical and current environmental factors.

    We examined the floral morph of tetraploid Ophiorrhiza japonica Blume var. amamiana Hatus. and diploid O. japonica var. japonica to elucidate the association of distyly and ploidy levels. Chloroplast DNA phylogeny was reconstructed to determine the number of tetraploidization events and floral morph shifts in O. japonica. All individuals of O. japonica var. amamiana proved to be long-homostylous, whereas O. japonica var. japonica was distylous with typical long- and short-styled flowers. Distyly is related to the ploidy level. The bagging treatment of flowers indicated that O. japonica var. amamiana is self-compatible and potentially automatically self-pollinating. In cpDNA sequencing analysis, no haplotype was shared between the two varieties. The cpDNA haplotype network displayed the monophyly of O. japonica var. amamiana, suggesting a single origin of this variety. Hence, both tetraploidization and the breakdown of distyly to homostyly in O. japonica var. amamiana likely occurred just once. Because O. japonica var. amamiana having the morphological and cytological entity is recognized as a single lineage and clearly separated from O. japonica var. japonica, this variety can be considered to be a distinct species. We therefore propose to raise O. japonica var. amamiana to the rank of species.

    Hayataella (Rubiaceae) is a monotypic genus endemic to Taiwan that comprises H. michelloides. In recent years, Hayataella was considered to be synonymous with Ophiorrhiza; however, no specific data have been reported, and the systematic treatment of Hayataella has been unclear. To elucidate the systematic treatment of Hayataella, molecular phylogenetic analyses based on ITS of nrDNA, atp B-rbcL, and trnK/matK of cpDNA were conducted with four Ophiorrhiza species. In the Bayesian and the most parsimonious trees, H. michelloides was included in the Ophiorrhiza clade. The monotypic status of Hayataella is, therefore, not considered appropriate, and the combination Ophiorrhiza michelloides (Masam.) H. S. Lo is supported.
