“…However, the strict consensus recovered a large polytomy between Bromelia, Fernseea, Ochagavia and the clade with the remaining species of Bromelioideae. The difficulty of establishing the relationships of Bromelia and Fernseea with the remaining members of Bromelioideae is also apparent from the different phylogenies based on molecular characters (e.g., Horres et al 2007;Givnish et al 2007Givnish et al , 2011Schulte & Zizka 2008;Evans et al 2015), where these genera emerge in different positions. These results illustrate the need for new studies to develop more conclusive and robust hypotheses, since the branches have low support ) and the schemes for the relationships among the early-diverging groups of Bromelioideae will likely be subject to frequent modification.…”

“…Fernseea forms a clade with Fascicularia and Ochagavia in a polytomy with Bromelia (Horres et al 2007), or occurs as a sister to the eubromelioids (Schulte & Zizka 2008). Bromelia appears either in a polytomy with Fascicularia, Deinacanthon and Ochagavia (Schulte et al 2005), as a sister to Greigia and to Ochagavia and Fascicularia (Givnish et al 2011), or as a sister to eu-bromelioids (Evans et al 2015) or all other Bromelioideae (Givnish et al 2007;Schulte et al 2009;Sass & Specht 2010).…”

Morphological Phylogenetic Analysis of Two Early-Diverging Genera of Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae)

2015

Bromelia includes 66 species, grouped in three subgenera: Bromelia, Distiacanthus and Karatas. The genus is one of the earlier divergent groups within Bromelioideae, a subfamily with innumerable problems of generic delimitation. Considering that few phylogenetic studies have included more than one species of Bromelia, the objectives of this study were to carry out a phylogenetic analysis for the genus, seeking to evaluate its monophyly as well as its subgenera, and to better understand the interspecific evolutionary relationships within the genus and the intergeneric relationships within Bromelioideae. Also included in the analysis were the two species of Fernseea, a genus originally described from a species placed in Bromelia. The phylogenetic analysis was conducted with combined micro-and macromorphological data, including 39 taxa with 116 characters. As in other studies on Bromeliaceae, the clades have low statistical support and many questions regarding the relationships of the groups remain. The circumscription of Bromelia is still uncertain, due to the position of B. irwinii; Fernseea seems to emerge within this genus, as the marority-rule consensus suggests, and the infrageneric categories are debatable because they do not constitute monophyletic groups. However, Bromelia seems to be paraphyletic and, without B. irwinii, the genus can be considered monophyletic. Beginning with the premise that the most recent common ancestor of Bromelioideae appeared first in the southern Andes, Bromelia and Fernseea seems to have dispersed along three biogeographical routes. The present work is an important contribution to understand the evolution and biogeography of the Bromelioideae.

Aechmea, as currently circumscribed (e.g., Smith, 1971;Smith and Downs, 1979), is a highly polyphyletic genus (Smith and Till, 1998;Sass and Specht, 2010;Givnish et al, 2011), and there appear to be as many as six different origins of the species now assigned to what was once thought to be the largest genus in the Bromelioideae.…”

J. Dorr SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTIONEmphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affiliation with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. General requirements for manuscript preparation are on the inside back cover of printed volumes.

“…Phylogenetic studies have been conducted in the Bromeliaceae based on both molecular and morphological data. The first group of studies used different data sets, with a focus on relationships among the subfamilies (Ranker et al 1990;Terry et al 1997a;Horres et al 2000;Givnish et al 2007Givnish et al , 2011, within the subfamilies (Terry et al 1997b;Crayn et al 2000;Barfuss et al 2005;Horres et al 2007;Schulte et al 2009;Sass & Specht 2010) or within genera and subgenera (Rex et al 2007;Sousa et al 2007;Chew et al 2010;Versieux et al 2012). With the exception of the study of Gilmartin & Brown (1987), which questioned the monophyly of the family, its possible sistergroup, and the relationships among the subfamilies, phylogenetic analysis based on morphological data have focused on subfamilies (Varadarajan & Gilmartin 1988), tribes (Forzza 2001), genera (Gilmartin et al 1989;Leme 2000;Faria et al 2004;Hornung-Leoni & Sosa 2008;Almeida et al 2009;Monteiro 2009, Gomes-da-Silva et al 2012Saraiva 2013) or subgenera (Gilmartin & Brown 1986;Beaman & Judd 1996;Tardivo 2002;Sousa 2004) in all subfamilies.…”

Vriesea, with about 280 species distributed in two sections, Vriesea and Xiphion, is recognized as polyphyletic. We provide the cladistic analysis based on morphological data, with emphasis on species from eastern Brazil, its main center of diversity, which emerged as a monophyletic group in previous molecular and combined analysis. The data matrix contained information of 60 species of Vriesea, and two of Alcantarea, for a total of 62 terminal taxa and 66 characters. The analysis produced one tree with 652 steps. The classic infrageneric division of the sections was not corroborated. Characters traditionally used to separate the two sections supported clades containing species from both sections. Morphologically related monophyletic groups were recognized. Some characters have been highlighted as potentially important in the circumscription of small groups of species and have not yet been much used in the systematics of Vriesea.
