Abstract
Evolutionary trends and phylogenetic relationships in the Strelitziaceae (Zingiberales) were investigated using sequence data from ten plastid and two nuclear regions and a morphological dataset. [] Key Result Relationships among the genera remain equivocal with two hypotheses emerging: (i) Strelitzia sister to a clade comprising Ravenala and Phenakospermum when indels are included, or (ii) Ravenala sister to the remainder of the Strelitziaceae when indels are excluded in/from the combined…

The concatenated plastid and nuclear dataset supports the position of Musaceae as sister to the remaining seven families and recovers known intra- and inter-family phylogenetic relationships with generally high bootstrap support.
Description of five new species of the Madagascan flagship plant genus Ravenala (Strelitziaceae)

- BiologyInternational Journal of Plant Sciences

Inflorescence and flower structure is now well established in this small but important family of plants, and similarities between the Lowiaceae and Strelitziaceae include inflorescence structure; the presence of a long prolongation of the ovary; and a delay in the formation of the third sepal during flower development.

An Eocene/Oligocene onset for the origin of the Madagascan generic endemic flora, with the majority arising in the Miocene or more recently is supported, de-emphasize the importance of the Gondwanan break-up on the evolution of the flora.

Multiple radiations into temperate habitats were found to not be driven by morphological change, but instead may point to a genetic plasticity in the family that provided opportunities for speciation events not found anywhere else in the order.

Phylogeny of Orchidantha (Lowiaceae) and the Zingiberales Based on Six DNA Regions
- Biology
- 2005
A phylogenetic analysis of Zingiberales based on 613 parsimony informative characters of the plastid matK gene, the trnL-trnF region, the rps16 intron, and a conservative part of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region indicates that Lowiaceae is sister to all the remaining families of Zediberales.

Evidence from branch lengths in the parsimony analyses and from the fossil record suggests that the Zingiberales originated in the Early Cretaceous and underwent a rapid radiation in the mid-Cretaceous, by which time most extant family lineages had diverged.

Ancestral Gondwanan vicariance combined with a potential Laurasian distribution and multiple secondary dispersal events within families during the Tertiary can explain the main biogeographic events leading to the current pantropical distribution of this tropical order.

The trnT-L region was found to be the most variable and informative region and may explain the high proportion of transversions found in this region where as comparatively lower A+T values were found in the trnL intron and spacer regions with relatively balanced numbers of transitions and transversions.
