Species of Euphrasia are distributed in both hemispheres with a series of connecting localities on the mountain peaks of Taiwan and the Malesian region including Luzon, Borneo, Sulawesi, Seram and New Guinea. Two hypotheses are proposed to explain this distribution pattern. The Northern Hemisphere might have been the centre of origin or the Southern Hemisphere. This study aims to reconstruct the core phylogeny of Euphrasia in the connecting areas and tries to identify the migratory direction of Euphrasia in Taiwan and Malesia. The phylogeny of Euphrasia, including sections Euphrasia, Malesianae and Pauciflorae, is reconstructed with the chloroplast molecular markers rps2 gene, trnL intron and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer. The results suggest that the... |
