ABSTRACT
The genus Pinguicula is one of the three genera of the carnivorous Lentibulariaceae, comprising approximately 80 species. Phylogeny inference using nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast gene matK and the trnK group II intron, as well as a set of 32 morphological characters revealed five well-supported, major lineages within the genus. These lineages largely reflect radiations in clearly defined geographic regions, whereas most previously recognized sections of the genus are shown to be para- or polyphyletic. A species-rich Mexican-Central American-Caribbean clade has the Eurasian P. alpina and an East Asian clade as successive sisters. All three are characterized by a production of flower buds on winter-resting plants, a specific corolla hair structure and a very large corolla lower central lobe. Another diverse clade is composed of species with primarily European distribution including the widespread type species P. vulgaris. For this clade, vegetative reproduction during dormancy is synapomorphic. Species native to SE North America and the South American Andes and a group of Mediterranean and NE Atlantic coast species together appear in a fifth well-supported clade, that is characterized by a tropical-type growth habit. It is the only clade that has reached temperate zones of the southern hemisphere.
Key Words: Lamiales Lentibulariaceae matK/trnK morphology northern hemisphere biogeography Pinguicula
The Butterworts (Pinguicula) constitute the second most diverse genus of the carnivorous Lentibulariaceae, with 85 currently accepted species (Steiger, 1998
; Legendre, 2000
). With its extant diversity and distribution throughout Eurasia, North America, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and the South American Andes (Casper, 1966
), phylogenetic patterns in Pinguicula provide relevant data to understand the historical biogeography of the northern hemisphere where, so far, mostly intercontinental disjuncts (e.g., Guo, 1999
; Wen, 1999
, 2001
; Quian and Ricklefs, 2000
) and woody lineages with a wider distribution (e.g., Donoghue et al., 2001
; Tiffney and Manchester, 2001
) have been studied.
In Pinguicula, insects are caught and digested by sessile and short-stalked mucilage-producing glands on the upper side of rosette leaves ("flypaper traps"). This causes the shiny appearance of the leaves that led to the common name "butterwort." The closest relatives of Pinguicula are in the suction-trap-bearing genus Utricularia (Taylor, 1989
) and the eel-trap-bearing genus Genlisea (Fromm-Trinta, 1981
; Taylor, 1991
). While the monophyly of the Lentibulariaceae has been substantiated by molecular data (Müller et al., 2000
, 2004
; Jobson et al., 2003
), the position of the family, and related ones, within the order Lamiales remains obscure despite recent analyses based on molecular data that included noncoding DNA (Olmstead et al., 2001
; Bremer et al., 2002
; Müller et al., 2004
; Rahmanzadeh et al., 2005
). Nevertheless, statistical data derived from Kishino-Hasegawa-tests suggested that the "proto-carnivores" (Byblidaceae, Martyniaceae) evolved independently from Lentibulariaceae (Müller et al., 2004
) in agreement with the observation that digestive glands in all three genera of Lentibulariaceae are attached to vessels unlike secretory glands of Byblidaceae and Martyniaceae that rest on at least two epidermal cells (Müller et al., 2004
). In an attempt to unravel infrageneric relationships, most lineages of Utricularia and Genlisea have been sampled and the monophyly of the two genera has been established (Müller et al., 2004
; Müller and Borsch, 2005
). Reconstruction of morphological character evolution within the Lentibulariaceae (Müller et al., 2004
) indicated that the more complex pitcher traps of Utricularia and Genlisea have evolved via the folding of leaves of a Pinguicula-like ancestor. Nevertheless, the inclusion of species from Pinguicula in molecular studies was limited. Jobson et al. (2003)
sequenced the rps16 intron and the trnL intron and trnL-F spacer of 12 species, and Müller et al. (2004)
analyzed sequences of matK and trnK of 26 taxa, covering only few sections, while Zamora et al. (1996)
conducted RAPD-based comparisons of four European species. Additionally, the implications of phylogenetic results for character evolution, infrageneric classification, or phytogeography of Pinguicula have never been discussed. Therefore, a more complete sampling is needed, to test if Pinguicula, as currently circumscribed, is monophyletic or paraphyletic to the Genlisea-Utricularia clade and whether there are morphological characters synapomorphic for Pinguicula.
The first description of a member of Pinguicula was made more than 400 years ago by Gesner (1555)
who introduced the genus name later studied by Ray (1660)
and Linné (1737)
, and formalized by Linné (1753)
. De Candolle (1844)
introduced the first infrageneric classification, which had three sections and increased the number of species to 32. De Candolle emphasized morphological characters such as spur size, floral symmetry, corolla tube size, and corolla lobe color. These sections were Orcheosanthus (all Central American species), Brandonia (only the yellow-flowered North American P. lutea), and Pionophyllum (the remaining species). Due to varying importance assigned to different morphological characters states, the subdivision of the genus has been the subject of controversy. Barnhart (1916)
raised section Pionophyllum to subgeneric level and removed all species from subg. Pionophyllum that have corolla lobes of equal size to group them with P. lutea in a novel subgenus Isoloba. Similarly, P. crenatiloba was removed from section Pionophyllum to become the sole member of a further new subgenus called Temnoceras (Barnhart, 1916
). None of the early classification systems included the nominate entity, subgen. Pinguicula, what was formally corrected by Casper (1966)
. A careful examination of flower morphology throughout Pinguicula showed the presence of a palatum in P. lutea and allies that further supported the afore-mentioned circumscription of subg. Isoloba (Wood and Godfrey, 1957
; Godfrey and Stripling, 1961
). In contrast, Ernst (1961)
used flower throat hair structures for his classification and merged subg. Isoloba with subg. Pionophyllum. The use of flower throat hair morphology as taxonomic character was further modified by Casper (1966)
and complemented by life forms and cytological data to generate the most thorough revision of Pinguicula to date. It recognizes 48 species in three subgenera (Isoloba, Temnoceras, Pinguicula) and 12 sections that, in most cases, contain a mix of species occurring on different continents. This system was based on the relatively small number of seven morphological characters, some of which had never been observed on living specimens under comparable growing conditions. The number of described species has also doubled since the publication of this work with new taxa originating from many parts of the world including Mexico (e.g., Zamudio and Rzedowski, 1986
; Zamudio, 1999
, 2005
), Cuba (Casper, 2003
, 2004
) and Europe (Blanca et al., 1999
; Zamora et al., 1996
; Casper and Steiger, 2001
).
Sequences of the chloroplast gene matK and adjacent parts of the trnK intron were very informative in asserting phylogenetic relationships among the different species of the genera Utricularia and Genlisea (Müller et al., 2004
; Müller and Borsch, 2005
). It, therefore, seemed reasonable to extend further the matK/trnK datasets for Pinguicula. The mutational dynamics of matK differ from other protein coding genes by exhibiting high rates of nonsynonymous substitutions and a high frequency of indels (Johnson and Soltis, 1995
; Hilu et al., 2003
; Müller and Borsch, 2005
). The trnK intron, in which matK is located, is a group II intron that provides good amounts of potentially phylogeny informative characters, including many indels that appear even less homoplastic than substitutions (Müller and Borsch, 2005
).
Goals of this study are to (1) test the monophyly of the genus Pinguicula based on an extended sampling, (2) infer relationships within Pinguicula using molecular data, also as a basis for a revised classification and an understanding of extant phytogeographic patterns and (3) reevaluate and extend the number of morphological characters potentially providing synapomorphies for clades found with molecular data.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plant material and sampling
Appendix lists all taxa included in this study with voucher information, GenBank accession numbers, and geographic origin. Many plants were collected in the wild and then cultivated in a glasshouse and in vitro to allow comparative observation and scoring of characters relating to growth types, reproduction mode (both spontaneous and after cutting leaves), prey capture, and hybridization partners. Growing conditions were empirically optimized (results will be published elsewhere). A description and list of morphological characters, character states and character scores are respectively given in appendices 2, 3 and 4. For phylogenetic analysis, two different matrices were compiled: one that consisted of Pinguicula only plus outgroup and a second that included Utricularia and Genlisea (extended data set). Thus, the influence of highly accelerated mutation rates in the UtriculariaGenlisea lineage on the internal topology of the slower evolving Pinguicula clade (Jobson and Albert, 2002
; Müller et al., 2004
) could be tested. Considering existing trees of Lamiales (Olmstead et al., 2001
; Müller et al., 2004
; Rahmanzadeh et al., 2005
), Kigelia africana (Bignoniaceae) and Antirrhinum majus (Plantaginaceae) were used as outgroup. Sequences of Genlisea, Utricularia and outgroup taxa were already available (Appendix).
DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing
Fresh leaves were washed under a stream of water to remove dead insects and plant debris. Then, a cotton swab was rolled on the surface of the leaves to activate mechanically the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes (includes DNase activity: Heslop-Harrison and Knox, 1971
; Heslop-Harrison, 1975
). Leaves were subsequently rinsed again under a stream of water until all mucilage was washed off before being gently blotted on paper. About 1 g of leaf was then ground in liquid nitrogen and incubated at 65°C for 15 min in 5 mL extraction buffer (2% hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, 100 mM Trisma-HCl, 20 mM ethylene diaminetetracetic acid, 1.4 M NaCl, 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 60 µL ß-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0) followed by 30 min and 2 h incubation steps at 37°C with RNase A (0.4 mg) and proteinase K (0.4 mg), respectively. After sequential extractions with phenol : chlorophorm : isoamylic acid (25 : 24 : 1) and chlorophorm : isoamylic acid (24 : 1), DNA was precipitated with isopropanol. The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, dried, dissolved in 50 µL of water, cleaned with a QIAquick PCR purification kit (QIAGEN, Clifton Hill, Victoria, Australia,) according to the manufacturer's instructions and stored at 20°C.
Amplification of trnK including matK was made by PCR using primers 3914F and 2R (Johnson and Soltis, 1995
) with DyNAzyme EXT (Finnzymes, Thebarton, South Australia, Australia) under the following conditions: initial melting (3 min, 95°C) followed by 25 cycles of melting (1 min, 95°C), annealing (1 min, 52°C) and elongation (3 min, 72°C) and a termination step of 10 min at 72°C. The PCR reaction mixtures were cleaned using a QIAquick PCR purification kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer's instructions and sequenced. Sequencing was conducted at the Strasbourg (France) or Millenium Institute of Westmead (NSW, Australia) DNA sequencing centers using the primers listed in Table 1.

Indels were coded according to the "simple indel coding" method (Simmons and Ochoterena, 2000
). This was achieved automatically with the IndelCoder function of the program SeqState (Müller, 2005
). The matrix is provided in Appendix S4 (see Supplemental Data with online version of article). Maximum parsimony (MP) analyses were carried out using PAUP* (Swofford, 2000
). Heuristic analyses were conducted using 1000 random addition replicates and tree-bisection-reconnection (TBR) branch swapping, saving multiple trees. With 10 random addition cycles each, 500 bootstrap (Felsenstein, 1985
) replications were performed to evaluate internal branch support.
Bayesian inference (BI) of phylogeny was performed with MrBayes3 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck, 2003
). The model of best fit was (GTR +
+ I) as determined with Modeltest (Posada and Crandall, 1998
). This model was specified for the analysis, and posterior probabilities were estimated by sampling trees from the posterior probability distribution using the Metropolis-coupled Markov chain-Monte Carlo approach (MCMCMC) implemented in MrBayes3 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck, 2003
), using default priors. The temperature of the heated chain was set to 0.2. Three times, four chains were run for 1 million generations. As verified using the plot command in MrBayes3, the likelihood scores of the sampled trees reached stationarity approximately after generation 20 000 in all three runs. Consensus trees, clade posterior probabilities, and mean branch lengths were based upon the trees sampled (every 10 generations) after the burn-in and graphed with TreeGraph (Müller and Müller, 2004
).
Relative rate tests
Major clades within Pinguicula determined via phylogenetic analysis were subjected to relative rate tests using maximum likelihood estimates of substitutions per site between taxon groups according to the model of best fit (GTR +
+ I) determined with Modeltest (Posada and Crandall, 1998
). For the tests, standard errors were estimated using the bootstrap option in the program G-Rate (Müller, 2002
; see also Müller et al., 2004
). Relative rates were intended to provide evidence of whether certain longer branches within Pinguicula were the result of rate accelerations of individual species. Furthermore, rates should at least give some hints on whether shallow clades may be explained by rapid diversification rather than putative rate decrease. In the absence of Lentibulariaceae fossil records, knowledge of Lentibulariaceae relatives, and in the light of the extreme rate heterogeneity within this plant family, molecular dating was not attempted here.
Optimization of indel and morphological characters
Optimization of indel and morphological characters was performed with WinClada (Nixon, 1996
) using the fast optimization scheme, assuming accelerated transitions. The tree used to plot character state transformations was the Bayesian majority rule consensus tree resulting from the analysis of the extended matrix.
RESULTS
Variability of trnK/matK DNA sequences
Among the 43 species of Pinguicula of this study (contains sequences already included in Müller et al., 2004
), the length of the trnK intron including the matK gene ranged from 2514 to 2560 bp (Table 2). MatK stop codons were positionally homologous for all Pinguicula species except for P. sharpii (10 bp downstream), unlike the extreme divergence found in Genlisea and Utricularia (Müller et al., 2004
). A perfect reading frame was found in all matK sequences of Pinguicula. Table 2 summarizes sequence characteristics of the two trnK intron parts and matK. A total of 95 indel characters were coded (60 potentially parsimony-informative; Appendix S4, see Supplemental Data with online version of article). Within Pinguicula only 27 were variable (9 potentially parsimony-informative), and the majority was due to the UtriculariaGenlisea lineage. The 5' noncoding intron part comprised 51 indels, the matK-coding region 22, and the 3' noncoding intron part 22. Some of the indels in Pinguicula were extremely large for what is known in matK (a 36-bp deletion and a 54-bp insertion in all Pinguicula sequences, Appendix S4). An optimization of the indel characters on the Bayesian majority rule tree shown as a phylogram (Fig. 3) revealed that eight indels are synapomorphic for Pinguicula, thereby providing additional support for the monophyly of the genus. An additional eight indels were found to be synapomorphic for clades within Pinguicula. The illustration also indicates that substitution-based branch length and indel frequencies largely correlate.

Relationships among the Mexican/Central American/Caribbean species are well resolved with trnK/matK (Fig. 1). The Cuban P. filifolia is found sister to the northern Mexican P. gracilis and P. rotundifolia (BP 92/78) in a lineage sister to the remainder of clade I (BP 100/100). Under the current sampling sections Crassifolia (P. ehlersiae and P. esseriana) appears monophyletic, whereas other sections are poly- or paraphyletic (Fig. 1). Clade III shows P. ramosa and P. villosa (BP = 94), plus P. variegata as successive sisters. Clade IV comprises two well-supported subclades. One of these comprises species with a distribution restricted to Italy (BP = 96/ 95; P. leptoceras, P. longifolia subsp. reichenbachiana, and P. poldinii). The other subclade (BS 97/98) contains a group of European species, some of which extending into Asia, North Africa, and North America, and which are not well resolved. Within clade V, P. antarctica is found sister (BP = 100) to the species from the southeastern USA.
Bayesian analyses
The Bayesian tree (Fig. 2) is identical to the MP topology (Fig. 1). In clade IV two more nodes were resolved, revealing P. corsica and P. vallisneriifolia as sisters, and, together with P. longifolia subsp. longifolia, as sister to the remaining non-Italian taxa. Posterior probabilities (Fig. 2) were generally much higher than bootstrap values (Fig. 1) and were less affected by the addition of Genlisea + Utricularia. Bayesian analyses only weekly (38/40 PP) support the placement of clade V as sister to the remainder of the genus. Figure 3 shows branch lengths of the Bayesian majority rule tree of the extended sampling of this study.

DISCUSSION
Evolution of the Pinguicula clade
Members of the genus Pinguicula are traditionally distinguished from all other Lentibulariaceae by their ability to produce mucilage glands on their leaves (Casper, 1966
; Taylor, 1989
, 1991
; Legendre, 2000
). Because the bladder and eel traps in Utricularia and Genlisea have a more complex anatomy than flypaper traps, it has been hypothesized that they evolved via the folding of a Pinguicula-looking (already carnivorous) ancestor (Juniper et al., 1989
; Taylor, 1989
). Our molecular analysis is consistent with earlier hypotheses of Pinguicula monophyly that were based on a much narrower taxon sampling (Jobson et al., 2003
; Müller et al., 2004
). This implies that mucilage glands (no. 2-1) are a synapomorphy to Pinguicula. These glands have the unique characteristic within the plant kingdom of secreting large quantities of water and losing turgor upon mechanical stimulation by the prey to assist in prey digestion. Nevertheless, they secrete small quantities of digestive enzymes and are not involved in the absorption of digestive fluid from the prey. The absorption is achieved via an additional type of gland, a non-mucilaginous sessile gland synapomorphic to all Lentibulariaceae (Lloyd, 1942
; Legendre, 2000
; Appendix S1, character 2). Pinguicula also differs from Utricularia, Genlisea, and other Lamiales in the absence of trichomes on abaxial leaf surfaces. Therefore, it seems more likely that Pinguicula traps have specialized independently from a common ancestor of Lentibulariaceae that was equipped with digestive glands and where the current mucilage glands were absent. More detailed analyses on gland anatomy and function are required to better understand character state changes.
Major clade diversification within Pinguicula
Parsimony and Bayesian analyses group all Mexican and Caribbean species in a clade sister to the Eurasian P. alpina (clades I and II). This relationship is also supported by an 8-bp deletion (indel character 34). Nevertheless, no morphological synapomorphy is currently known for these two clades. Inference of clade III as successive sister is congruently made with MP and BI although only the later yields support (98/97 PP). Several morphological synapomorphies such as character states 9-0 (blooming initiation during winter dormancy), 19-0 (corolla hairs made of strings of single cells) and 26-1 (very large central lower lobe) provide additional evidence for close relationships between clades I, II, and III. The sole species of clade II, P. alpina, has several autapomorphies such as a pointed/tubular winter resting bud and the lack of pigments in the corolla tube (no. 21-0) It differs from clades I and II by a lack of spontaneous vegetative multiplication during vegetative growth or resting (no. 6-0) and the absence of spade-shaped leaves (no. 12-0). Additionally, P. alpina exhibits fleshy roots that stay alive in the winter (no. 5-2), a character state independently present in members of clade V.
The respective positions of the Eurasian (clade IV) and tropical growth type (clade V) lineages are less clear. The node placing clade V as sister to all remaining species generally receives weak support (Figs. 1, 2) and was not resolved when Genlisea and Utricularia were included in MP reconstruction. The analysis of Lentibulariaceae by Müller et al. (2004)
did not include representatives of clade V. Nevertheless, with the exception of single isolated taxa, character states 3-0 (non-carnivorous winter leaves), 4-2 (resistance to near-freezing temperatures), 30-1 (cylindrical spur) and 32-0 (spur forming no angle with the tube of the corolla) were found to be synapomorphic to clades IIV (see Appendix S3, see Supplemental Data with online version of article, and Fig. 4), while character states 5-1 (roots alive in the winter), 20-0 (no color spot on corolla), 21-1 (yellow-brown corolla tube), 23-2 (crenated lobes), 29-1 (long corolla tube), and 31-0 (short spur) were synapomorphic to clade V.
An understanding of the early diversification of Pinguicula would greatly beneficiate from information on whether the tropical growth pattern in clade V represents a plesiomorphic condition (common with Utricularia and Genlisea) or was adopted independently after early diversification of the genus. However, additional markers that could support deep nodes in the Pinguicula or define the sister-group of Lentibulariaceae are lacking. Interestingly, the otherwise well-supported clade V (Figs. 1, 2) shows a deep split into a New World lineage and a European-Mediterranean lineage that is also evident from the rather long branches separating the respective terminals of each lineage (Fig. 3). This suggests that Pinguicula may have diversified from a paratropical laurophyllous vegetation that was present in the Tertiary under warmer and more humid climatic conditions (Mai, 1995
; Collinson and Hooker, 2003
) followed by early Laurasian migrations, similar to what was recently inferred for a number of extant lineages with both a western and eastern Gondwanan distribution (Davis et al., 2002
). Axelrod (1975)
estimated this vegetation to have occurred approximately 6554 mya, whereas the separation of Western Gondwana had began much earlier (
105 mya; McLoughlin, 2001
). Further research will be needed to infer the age of clade V.
Relationships among Mexican/Central American/Caribbean species (clade I)
Recognizing a clade that comprises all Central American, Mexican and Caribbean species disagrees with infrageneric classifications by Barnhart (1916)
and Casper (1966)
but supports De Candolle's (1844)
section Orcheosanthus. Nevertheless, character state 7-1 (detached leaves generating plantlets) was reconstructed as a synapomorphy (Fig. 4), and the potential for successful hybridization (unpublished data) further substantiates close relationships of the species composing this clade. At the species level, several morphological character states are in line with relationships hypothesized with matK/trnK despite deviating sectional classification. For example, P. laueana and P. moranensis share a long spur (no. 31-2) while P. emarginata, P. rectifolia and P. species (from Huahuapan) have flowers with lateral corolla lobes possessing a twist (no. 27-0) and leaves with a purple speck at their base (no. 13-1). In the contrary, resistance to drought in the winter (no. 4-1) and the ability of leaf cuttings to strike (no. 7-1) appear plesiomorphic. A unique blooming behavior with flowers arising twice during the year, once from the resting rosette (no. 9-0) and once from the summer rosette (no. 9-1), occurs in P. moctezumae, P. moranensis, P. emarginata, P. species Huahuapan and P. rectifolia. Although this feature is confined to a terminal group among the Mexican species, it is homoplastic within this group. Flowers in all other species either arise from the resting or from the summer rosette.
The lineage resolved as sister to all other species of clade I includes P. filifolia from Cuba along with two species from Mexico (P. gracilis and P. rotundifolia). These occur in the northern part of the Sierra del Orientale in the states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon. The inclusion of a Cuban species in this subclade agrees with the known affinities of the floras from these two regions (Briggs, 1987
). It is probable that an ancestor of P. filifolia was transferred from northern Mexico to Cuba via ocean drafting as hypothesized for a majority of Cuban plant species (Briggs, 1987
). The placement of species within clade I follows a geographical north to south gradient in Mexico on the Sierra del Orientate and the Sierra del Sur, starting with a subclade composed of P. ehlersiae and P. esseriana, which has members located just south from the earlier subclade, on the same mountain formation, in the states of San Louis Potosi and Tamaulipas. This is followed by (1) a subclade formed by P. agnata, P. gigantea, and P. sharpii occurring on the southern tip of the Sierra del Orientale in the state of Hidalgo and northern Sierra del Sur in southern Mexico; (2) a clade of P. accuminata and P. moctezumae from the states of Hidalgo and Queretaro; (3) a clade consisting of P. laueana and P. medusina, both in the state of Oaxaca on the northern fringe of Sierra del Sur, as well as the very widespread P. moranensis; (4), a clade consisting of P. spec Pachuca from the state of Hidalgo and, (5) a clade consisting of exclusively Southern Mexican members (P. rectifolia, P. emarginata, and P. species Huahuapan) from the states of Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Puebla (Casper, 1966
).
Results of this study do not support the inclusion of P. moranensis in section Orcheosanthus (Casper, 1966
) and suggest that this species should be included in section Longitubus together with P. laueana, with which it shares a long spur as synapomorphy (no. 31-2). Our results also suggest that the taxonomy of the P. moranensis complex needs to be revisited. Several Pinguicula populations that are widely distributed for horticulture are marketed under the name "P. moranensis," for example P. species Pachuca and P. species Huahuapan (Meyers-Rice and Schlauer, 2000
). According to our sequence data, they do not belong to P. moranensis, and consequently their naming is incorrect. Phylogenetic data suggest that the P. moranensis and P. rectifolia complexes can be differentiated on the base of spur size (>50% longer than the rest of the corolla in P. moranensis, no. 31), shape of the lateral corolla lobe (exhibiting a twist in P. rectifolia, no. 27), and corolla color (P. moranensis and P. laueana have pink to red lobes with no blue tinge while P. rectifolia, P. species Huahuapan and P. species Pachuca have pure blue or purple/ blue lobes, no. 22). P. rectifolia also shares with P. emarginata and P. species Huahuapan the presence of a purple speck at the base of its leaves. A complete revision of section Orcheosanthus and allies to which these species belong is currently underway (Zamudio, 1999
; S. Zamudio, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, personal communication) and is, therefore, essential.
Relationships among northeastern Asian species (clade III)
All three northeastern Asian species of Pinguicula (P. ramosa, P. villosa, and P. variegata) belong to a single clade (III), for which peduncles densely covered by mucilage glands (no.16-1) is inferred as synapomorphy (Fig. 4). This feature was already used in the first treatment of the genus (Sprengel, 1825
) to differentiate P. villosa from western European species (clade III and IV) even though disregarded by later authors (De Candolle, 1844
; Barnhart, 1916
; Ernst, 1961
; Casper, 1966
). At least in cultivation, these three species catch more than 90% of their prey with their peduncles (unpublished data). The sister group relationship of P. villosa and P. ramosa is supported by the ability to generate forked flower stems (no. 17-1). From the other two species, P. villosa differs in having a nearly circumboreal distribution (only absent from the western part of Norway to eastern Canada; Torbjorn, 2000
). Outside the boreal regions, it has only been reported in Korea (Lee, 1993
). Interestingly, P. villosa shares six floral morphology character states (nos. 18-0, 22-3, 23-0, 24-0, 26-0, 28-0) with members of clade IV but not with members of its own clade (Appendix S3, see Supplemental Data with online version of article). This explains why previous taxonomic treatments (De Candolle, 1844
; Casper, 1966
) grouped P. villosa with members of clade IV. Further molecular and cytological analyses are needed to clarify if events such as ancient hybridization have played a role in such striking patterns of homoplasy.
Relationships among European Pinguicula species (clade IV)
Section Pinguicula (Casper, 1966
) comprises all Eurasian mountain species except P. alpina. It is well supported by matK/trnK sequence data and morphology and is the only species-rich section found to be monophyletic. A synapomorphy for this clade (IV) is the ability of its species to reproduce vegetatively during winter dormancy (no. 6-2). Unlike other Pinguicula species, members of clade IV frequently undergo vegetative reproduction in their native habitats. This is a mode for rapid range extension (this clade indeed comprises the most widespread species) that, at least partly, explains the short branch lengths within the Eurasian clade. Morphological differences within clade IV are mainly found in leaf characters. Pinguicula nevadensis, for example, has prostrate rosettes of ovate leaves that are 46 cm in diameter, while P. vallisneriifolia, which occurs a few hundred kilometers more south in Spain, has 2025 cm long, linear, and erect leaves.
Both MP and BI suggest that the Eurasian species belong to two lineages differing by the shape of hairs in their flower throats (no. 19) and their geographic distribution patterns. The subclade of P. leptoceras, P. longifolia subsp. reichenbachiana and P. poldinii is centred to northern Italy, whereas the other members of clade IV have a distribution that is either restricted to Spain, or is extremely wide in the northern hemisphere sometimes only extending into the Iberian peninsula. In addition, there are some narrow endemics, such as P. fiorii, P. longifolia subsp. caussensis, and P. Corsica, which are found in Italy, southern France, and Corsica, respectively. Pinguicula fontiqueriana which grows in northern Africa, South Gibraltar (Romo et al., 1996
) has close affinities to P. grandiflora (Figs. 1, 2). A similar split between lineages into one with an eastern (eastern Alps, Italy) and another with a western (western Alps and Iberian Peninsula) range of distribution has been observed in several other herbaceous genera of the high altitude European alpine regions, such as Anthyllis, Soldanella, and Primula (Comes and Kadereit, 2003
). These patterns have been hypothesized to result from diversification during the Pleistocene period (Comes and Kadereit, 2003
; Kropf et al., 2003
) following a range restriction into refugia in Italy and Spain during the glaciations of the Quaternary (Taberlet et al., 1998
; Hewitt, 2000
). This partly accounts for the known differences between the floras present on each side of the "Alpes Maritimes" state on the western end of the French Alps (Kropf et al., 2002
). The current wide distribution of P. vulgaris (Appendix) suggests that a rapid colonization of the North Atlantic region took place (Gugerli and Holderegger, 2001
; Brochmann et al., 2003
). The present range of the closely allied P. macroceras in north Eastern Asia (Japan) is also most likely to be explained by "short-distance-dispersed" circumpolar spreading (Bronken et al., 2001
). The occurrence of P. vulgaris and P. macroceras in North America similarly appears to result from recent spreading via a Beringian connection (Miocene to Oligocene; Tiffney and Manchester, 2001
), contrary to a supposedly much older New and Old-World split within clade V. A better understanding of migration patterns, however, has to await a more detailed analysis with high resolving molecular markers.
Furthermore, matK/trnK data support a reclassification of the three subspecies of P. longifolia into distinct species (Figs. 1, 2). This is also based on earlier finding that P. leptoceras and P. longifolia subsp. reichenbachiana on the one hand (Casper, 1966
) and P. longifolia subsp. longifolia and P. vallisneriifolia on the other (Blanca et al., 1999
) have closer affinities than the three subspecies of P. longifolia to each other.
Relationships among species with a tropical growth type (clade V)
The relationship between species from southeastern North America and the South American Andes with the Mediterranean P. crystallina and the northeastern Atlantic coast dweller P. lusitanica (tropical growth type clade; Figs. 1, 2) is well supported by molecular and also substantiated by morphological data. Our results confirm the addition of P. crystallina (sect. Cardiophyllum) to subgenus Isoloba by Casper (1966)
despite the non-isolobic corollas of its flowers. Pinguicula antarctica is resolved within a clade consisting of members of subg. Isoloba (Fig. 1) and not subg. Temnoceras as classified by Casper (1966)
. Pinguicula crystallina differs from other members of clade V by four floral attributes (nos. 24-0, 29-0, 30-1, 31-1), but these appear homoplastic with respect to members of clade IV (Fig. 4). This species also shows a long branch in the phylogram and three autapomorphic indels (Fig. 3). The range of P. crystallina covers the North Mediterranean coast from southeastern France to Lebanon. Its sister taxon P. lusitanica grows on the European Atlantic coast from Ireland to Portugal and is only found inland in southeastern France near its border with Italy where it overlaps with P. crystallina north of the city of Marseilles (Casper, 1966
). The current gap in distributions between species with SE USA ranges and the southern Andean P. antarctica is, therefore, to be explained by a lack of sampling of neotropical species.
Utility of matK/trnK sequence data for resolving Pinguicula relationships
In Pinguicula, matK/trnK data allow a robust identification of major clades. Contrary to Utricularia Genlisea, where relationships among species were largely resolved even using intron or coding region sequences alone, combined matK/trnK sequences do not provide sufficient information within some clades (e.g., clade IV). At the species level, this is mainly explained by much higher substitutional rates in UtriculariaGenlisea (Müller and Borsch, 2005
).
Within Pinguicula, several species exhibit conspicuously longer branch lengths than others (Fig. 3). These include P. cystallina subsp. hirtiflora (clade VI) and P. villosa (clade III). Moreover, branch lengths among most members of clade I (most obvious for P. filifolia, P. sharpii, and P. medusina) are higher than among the Eurasian taxa (clade IV). Most likely the lower genetic distances in the Eurasian clade (sect. Pinguicula according to Casper, 1966
, Fig. 1) can in part be explained by a young radiation and rather rapid recent range extensions. However, relative rate tests that account for differences in divergence times, indicate that clade IV also exhibits significantly lower substitution rates compared to all other clades (Table 3). Differences are most significant when compared to the tropical-growth-type clade or the Mexican/ Caribbean clade. Species with high substitution rates also account for most of the species-specific indels (Fig. 3) and, interestingly, are responsible for most of the homoplasy among morphological characters. A detailed discussion of rates and potential causes underlying the rate discrepancies is beyond the scope of this paper and will be presented elsewhere.
Evolution of morphological characters in Pinguicula
Diversity in Pinguicula includes growth patterns. An early diversification event has placed in sister clades species with a continuous growth type (termed tropical in this study, no. 3-0) under constant, and nonfreezing, temperatures all year (clade V and some members of clade I plus Utricularia and Genlisea) and species with noncarnivorous winter leaves that are reduced in size (termed temperate in this study, no. 3-1, clades IIV). The latter can be seen as an adaptation to resist frost. Further differentiation of the winter buds in clade I has led them to resist drought (no. 4-1) in response to their Central American/Mexican environment. Temperate species have also further differentiated into those that multiply vegetatively during the winter and bloom from their summer rosette (clade IV) and those that do the reverse (clades IIIII and many members of clade I). Unlike most other families of the Lamiales, species belonging to the Lentibulariaceae do not generate any central root system and give rise to plants that grow at one end and die on the other (no. 5). Within Lentibulariaceae, only Pinguicula species generate adventitious roots. Ancestral Pinguicula species most likely had nonfleshy roots, which evolved as more fleshy at least twice (clades II and V). These disappear in the winter in parallel with the expression of a temperate growth type (Appendix S3, see Supplemental Data with online version of article).
Pinguicula species exhibit a variety of vegetative reproduction modes that include the production of plantlets on the central veins near the tip of leaves or roots (no. 8-1, homoplastic between two members of clade V and one of clade I) or near the base of the plant (no. 6-1/2, synapomorphic for clades I, III, IV). Some members of clade I that were not accessible for this study (P. stolonifera for example) and P. vallisneriifolia (clade IV) bear their daughter plants on long stems (stolons). Only a few members of clades V and clade II do not reproduce vegetatively in the wild or after artificial induction. The number of plantlets produced by the rosettes of members of clade I wanes off in more terminal lineages to be replaced by a novel trait, the formation of plantlets at the base of detached leaves (no. 7-1).
A spade-shaped leaf type with round tips is most likely a more recent attribute to the genus Pinguicula that evolved once (present in clades I and III) unlike the ability to generate different types of leaves through the vegetative period (no. 10), which appeared in two species independently. However, the origin of characters such as a vertical leaf orientation (no. 11, with the accompanying loss of leaf edge curling) and the linearity of the leaf blade (no. 12) is hard to assess at this stage since they were found to be homoplastic based on the trnK trees (present in two Pinguicula clades. The production of digestive glands on the underside of the leaves (no. 14) in two species with erect leaves (P. longifolia subsp. longifolia and P. gigantea) appears to result from two separate evolutionary events according to our phylogeny. It is most likely an adaptation to increase trapping efficiency when leaves are held upright vertically.
The flowers of the outgroup species used in this study (and of other Lamiales families potentially related to Lentibulariaceae) differ from the flowers in Lentibulariaceae by having non-isolobic corollas with long cylindrical tubes, non-crenated lobes, and by lacking a spur. Members of the Pinguicula clades V and some species of clade I were the only species of our sampling to have isolobic corollas (no. 25-0) a trait that, therefore, appears as being derived several times in parallel. However, several other attributes of the corolla of members of clades V are plesiomorphic within Pinguicula such as the presence of an angle between the corolla tube and the spur (no. 32-1 shared with Utricularia and Genlisea), spurs with a bag shape (no. 30-0, shared with Utricularia and Genlisea), a long (no. 29-1, shared with outgroup species), and cylindrical (no. 28-1, only lost in clade IV and some members of clade I), tube and a palatum (no. 24-1, only lost in clade IV and some members of clade I). The evolution and origin of lobe crenation, a character that is only found in few Pinguicula species within the Lentibulariaceae, is more difficult to assess even though used previously to support the creation of subgenus Isoloba and the grouping of southeast USA species (Wood and Godfrey, 1957
; Godfrey and Stripling, 1961
). Members of clades V harbour five crenated lobes except P. crystallina, which only has three (lower lip ones). The other Pinguicula species that have crenated lobes are P. alpina (clade II) and P. gracilis (clade I) and all members of clade III except P. villosa. All of these species have a single crenated lobe, the lower central one, which is at the same time significantly larger than the other lobes (no. 26-1).
