Cryptic species in an ancient flowering‐plant lineage (Hydatellaceae, Nymphaeales) revealed by molecular and micromorphological data

Abstract: The flora of the southwestern Australian biodiversity hotspot is rich in endemic species, many of which remain to be discovered or properly described; estimates of species diversity and levels of endemism should take into account the possible occurrence of cryptic species. Here we explore taxonomic diversity in a Western Australian lineage belonging to the primarily Australian genus Trithuria, the sole genus of Hydatellaceae (Nymphaeales). Recent molecular evidence supports the existence of cryptic species in … Show more

“…For example, the inclusion of one representative of each of the four sections of the genus Trithuria could be included in future investigations in order minimize the level of homoplasy between the divergent family of Hydatellaceae and the rest of the plant order. Such an inclusion would also benefit the ongoing evaluation of the species diversity of Hydatellaceae, which was recently reported as strongly underestimated [58].…”

“…In particular, they demonstrated, using evidence from microsatellite data (SSRs), an expanded molecular phylogenetic analysis, and fruit micromorphology, that Western Australian plants currently classified as T. australis sensu lato (sect. Hydatella) in fact belong to at least four species; of those four newly detected entities, one was formally described as a new species, Sokoloff et al (2019) concluded that species diversity in Hydatellaceae is strongly underestimated. These findings are well in line with our proposed treatment of the South Island Trithuria as a distinct species.…”
