TY - JOUR A1 - Gadek, PA A1 - Wilson, PG A1 - Quinn, CJ T1 - Phylogenetic reconstruction in Myrtaceae using matK, with particular reference to the position of Psiloxylon and Heteropyxis JF - Australian Systematic Botany JO - Aust. Systematic Bot. Y1 - 1996 VL - 9 IS - 3 SP - 283 EP - 290 KW - UR - https://doi.org/10.1071/SB9960283 N2 - Parsimony analysis of matK sequence data for representatives of Myrtaceae s.1. provides evidence of its potential in phylogenetic inference in this family. Psiloxylon and Heteropyxis comprise a robust clade, basal to representatives of Myrtaceae s. str., and strongly clustered with it. In a limited sample of Myitaceae s. str., several strongly supported groups are identified: the myrtoid genera (excluding Syzygium), representatives of the Chamelaucium alliance, and the Chamelaucium plus Leptospennum alliances.
