“…Drosera, Rivadavia et al 2003). Consistent with the west wind drift, longdistance dispersal appears to be more common from Australia to New Zealand Wagstaff and Wege 2002;Ford et al 2007), although there have been a few well supported cases of dispersals in the other direction (Wagstaff and GarnockJones 2000;Lockhart et al 2001;Wanntorp and Wanntorp 2003;Meudt and Bayly 2008).…”

“…For the latter, a common pattern observed is a single dispersal event followed by rapid radiation (Wagstaff and Garnock-Jones 1998;Winkworth et al 1999;Perrie et al 2003;Albach et al 2005;Meudt and Simpson 2006;Ford et al 2007). Despite increasing numbers of molecular studies involving New Zealand plants, general evolutionary and biogeographic patterns of the New Zealand flora are still not well known, particularly those regarding species in the alpine region (Lockhart et al 2001).…”

In our recent paper (Tay et al. 2010), several errors arose in Figs 5 and 6, mostly at the drafting stage: we neglected a polytomy in both figures; the tree topology in Fig. 6 was incorrect; the names of seven terminal taxa were associated with the wrong branches in Fig. 6; and P. euryphylla was spelled incorrectly in Fig. 5. The figures presented here correct these errors.Additionally, we have updated the data presented by including the diploid chromosome number of P. daltonii (Brown 1981).Fortunately, the discussion and conclusions of the original paper are still consistent with the revised figures. Abstract. We examined the geographic origins and taxonomic placements of New Zealand and Australian Plantago (Plantaginaceae) by using molecular phylogenetic data. Plantago comprises over 200 species distributed worldwide. Analyses of three markers from the nuclear (ITS), chloroplast (ndhF-rpl32) and mitochondrial (coxI) genomes showed that the New Zealand species form three distinct, well supported clades that are not each others' closest relatives, and were each derived relative to the sampled Australian species. Therefore, at least three long-distance directional dispersal events into New Zealand can be inferred for Plantago, likely from Australian ancestors. This result differs from the biogeographic pattern often reported for New Zealand plant genera of a single dispersal event followed by rapid radiation, and may be attributed to ready biotic dispersal of mucilaginous seeds and habitat similarities of the Australasian species. Molecular dating placed the arrival time and diversification of the New Zealand species between 2.291 and 0.5 million years ago, which coincides with the geological dates for the uplift of mountain ranges in New Zealand. The mitochondrial DNA substitution rate of the Australasian clade relative to the rest of the genus is discussed, as well as implications of the non-monophyly of sections Oliganthos, Mesembrynia and Plantago within subgenus Plantago.

“…Once identified, these regions can be amplified and characterised using PCR primers specific for these regions (Lockhart & McLenachan 1997;Shan et al 1999). Often such regions show elevated substitution rates (Lockhart et al 2001) and are useful for studying the relationships between closely related taxa (McLenachan et al 2000). This implementation of AFLP was used in the present work.…”

Molecular techniques -sequencing of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), and fingerprinting of amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and intersimple sequence repeats (ISSR) -were investigated for their potential to characterise genetic variation in harakeke (Phormium spp., family Hemerocallidaceae) in New Zealand. ITS showed no variation between species of Phormium. However, both AFLP and ISSR identified genome regions that were polymorphic among intraspecific accessions of Phormium obtained from the National New Zealand Flax Collection. When used as a direct sequencing marker, one AFLP fragment distinguished two major groups of nuclear haplotypes. The partitioning of taxa into these groups was supported by phylogenetic analysis of ISSR fingerprinting profiles. Split decomposition, a network-building technique, was shown to be useful in representing the sorts of relationships present in this study of intraspecific variation. Further sampling of natural populations is required to understand the origins and present-day distributions of these accessions; however, the present results show the usefulness of these methods for addressing such ethnobotanic questions.

Growth habit, vegetative, floral characters, and molecular data support the recognition of Ranunculus haastii and R. piliferus at species rank, rather than as intraspecific taxa at the rank of subspecies. Therefore, R. piliferus is a new combination at species rank for plants previously known as R. haastii subsp. piliferus. R. acraeus is a new species distinguished from R. piliferus by its finely crenate leaf and bract margins, glabrous peduncle, and in having 6-7 sepals that are hairy on the abaxial surface and glabrous on the adaxial surface. R. piliferus occurs in northern Southland and South Otago and R. acraeus occurs in North Otago and South Canterbury. R. piliferus and R. acraeus grow in relatively stable alpine rock-fields that comprise rock fractured into large, coarse, and angular blocks of differing sizes and shapes. R. haastii occurs in Canterbury and Marlborough where it grows on mobile fine-grained scree in the alpine zone. B06023; Online publication date 14 December 2006 Received 29 June 2006; accepted 2 November 2006Phylogenetic analyses of nrDNA ITS and cpDNA J SA sequence data provide support for the segregation of R. piliferus from R. haastii, and for the recognition of R. acraeus. R. piliferus forms a distinct genotype in both the ITS and J SA analyses. R. acraeus and one sample of R. haastii have a distinct J SA genotype, and R. acraeus and R. buchananii share a nine-basepair indel. In the ITS analysis R. acraeus and most samples of R. grahamii share the same genotype, and along with R. haastii form a northern, alpine group of diverse genotypes.
