GBSSI gene tree, P. obtusifolia is most closely related to P. suberosa ssp.<br />

suberosa.<br />

It is difficult to discuss the phylogenetic relationships amongst the species <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Passiflora</strong> supersection Cieca, given the limited taxon sampling and complex<br />

nature <strong>of</strong> the gene not only in known polyploid taxa (e.g., P. pallida) but also in<br />

known diploid taxa (e.g., P. xiikzodz). It is likely that increased taxon sampling<br />

(along with an extensive analysis <strong>of</strong> cloned sequences for each taxon) will help<br />

us understand not only the phylogenetic relationships within the supersection as<br />

a whole, but also the influence that polyploidy and hybridization has had on this<br />

complex group <strong>of</strong> plants.
