Abstract

---

To elucidate the phylogeny of the endemic North American genus Uvularia and related taxa, the chloroplast gene rbcL was sequenced in all the 5 species of the genus. The rbcL sequence data of 12 other genera viz., Tricyrtis. Disporum. Prosartes. Streptopus. Clintonia, Polygonatum, Medeola, Gloriosa. Colchicum. Veratrum. Dioscorea and Scilla representing different orders of Liliflorae were also analyzed to assess phylogenetic relationships among genera.
