Molecular phylogenies have been constructed and calibrated against time for several plant
lineages in the Hawaiian Islands, and had an enormous impact on our understanding of …

The endemic Hawaiian lobeliads are exceptionally species rich and exhibit striking diversity
in habitat, growth form, pollination biology and seed dispersal, but their origins and pattern …

Lobelia sect. Galeatella is a group of pachycaul treelets distinguished by a solitary
pliestesial hapaxanthic shoot from a suckering roo stock; a dense apical rosette of sessile …

Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data indicate that the species of Rollandia are
embedded within the genus Cyanea and that together these genera form a monophyletic …

• Premise of the study: Primers were developed to amplify 12 intron‐less, low‐copy nuclear
genes in the Hawaiian genus Clermontia (Campanulaceae), a suspected tetraploid.• …

• Premise of the study: The species‐rich Neotropical genera Centropogon, Burmeistera, and
Siphocampylus represent more than half of the∼ 1200 species in the subfamily …

Recently, attention has been focused on the evolutionary role of heterochrony (phyletic
change in the timing of development). Heterochrony results in the condition of …

Two new taxa of Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae) are described from Kaua'i: Cyanea
spathulata subsp. longipetiolata Lammers and Delissea undulata subsp. kauaiensis …

Oceanic island archipelagoes provide opportune settings to study questions of evolutionary
interest. I have used two species of Hawaiian Lobelioideae, Clermontia kakeana and …

Abstract Background and Aims The centropogonid clade (Lobelioideae: Campanulaceae) is
