Cladistic analyses by maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods of chloroplast and nuclear sequence
data indicate a new position for Limosella (Scrophulariaceae). Following this result, a new circumscription of the
tribe Limoselleae is presented where the tribe Manuleeae is included in Limoselleae. Further, the study discloses
that the genus Sutera is paraphyletic in its present circumscription, but that the two sections of Sutera, Sutera and
Chaenostoma, are monophyletic. To accommodate these findings the genus Chaenostoma is re-established. Furthermore, the genus Jamesbrittenia recently expanded by Hilliard is shown to be a highly supported monophyletic group
in its current circumscription. © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society,

INTRODUCTION
Members of the tribe Manuleeae Bentham (Scrophulariaceae) are common elements of the Cape Flora.
Recently, the tribe Selagineae Horan. (former family
Selaginaceae Choisy) was included in the Manuleeae
by Kornhall, Heidari & Bremer (2001). The tribe now
comprises about 625 species in 28 genera and is nearly
entirely southern African in its distribution. The only
exceptions to this are one species of Jamesbrittenia
Kuntze that extends as far as to India, one of Hebenstretia L. that extends northwards to Eritrea, and the
monotypic genus Barthlottia Fischer that, together
with a species of Selago L., occurs on Madagascar. The
aforementioned study indicated that the current circumscriptions of the genera Sutera Roth and Manulea
L. are incorrect. Fieldwork in the year 2001 (by the
first author) provided material that made it possible to
look more closely into these relationships and also to

test more thoroughly the taxonomic status of Jamesbrittenia, a genus that encompasses many taxa formerly considered to belong to Sutera (Hilliard, 1994).
New material of the cosmopolitan genus Limosella
L. was also included in the study after an unpublished
molecular analysis of Scrophulariaceae (B. Oxelman,
P. Kornhall, R. G. Olmstead & B. Bremer, unpubl.
data) pointed towards a connection between the tribe
Manuleeae and the genus Limosella.
Historically, the plants now belonging to Manulea,
Sutera and Jamesbrittenia have an intertwined taxonomy. Manulea, today with 74 species, was erected by
Linnaeus 1767, Sutera, erected by Roth 1807, now has
49 species, and Jamesbrittenia, now encompassing 83
species, was erected by Kuntze 1891. Many plants of
Sutera have synonyms in Manulea, and Jamesbrittenia in Sutera.
The genus Manulea fide Hilliard (1994) is characterized by indumentum with balloon-tipped eglandular hairs; inflorescence a thyrse, raceme or panicle;
corolla tube cylindrical, often abruptly expanded
below limb and bent; stamens inserted halfway up in
the corolla tube or higher with anthers always

included or the anterior pair just visible in the mouth
of the corolla. The genus was divided by Hilliard
(1994) into four sections: Dolichoglossa, Thyrsiflorae,
Manulea and Medifixae.
Sutera fide Hilliard (1994) is characterized by flowers usually alone in leaf-axils; corolla tube most often
funnel-shaped, broad in the mouth; anticous pair of
anthers exerted (in all but two species). Hilliard (1994)
divided the genus into two sections; a small section
Sutera encompassing three species and among them
the type of the genus, S. foetida Roth, and a larger section Chaenostoma with 46 species. The latter section
corresponds closely to Bentham’s (1846) description of
the genus Chaenostoma. The name means gaping
mouth, pointing to the funnel-formed corollas. One of
the main differences between Sutera and Manulea,
according to Hilliard (1994), is the inclusion or exertion of the anthers, but it should be noted that in the
three species of section Sutera, two have included
anthers and thus resemble the genus Manulea.
According to Hilliard (1994), Sutera has semi-annular
nectariferous glands at the base of the ovaries and
Manulea has lateral glands. Other characters are
shared by the two genera, indicating that they are
closely related.
The use of the name Jamesbrittenia was, until Hilliard’s (1994) monograph of the Manuleeae, more or
less restricted to the species J. dissecta Kuntze. The
genus, fide Hilliard, has 83 species, most of which
were earlier considered parts of Sutera. They are characterized by a calyx divided almost to the base, an
abruptly expanded corolla tube with a band of clavate
hairs in the throat, the anthers usually included, the
posterior filaments usually pubescent and decurrent
down the corolla tube, and a short included and
minutely bifid stigma. Most of our understanding of
the morphology of Manuleeae emanates from the
detailed monographs written by Hilliard (1994, 1999).
As her monographs are the most complete taxonomic
treatments of taxa belonging to the tribe, we also follow her terminology in our descriptions and keys.
The genus Limosella, the mudworts, has a worldwide distribution with 18 described species. They are
small, aquatic to semi-aquatic herbs, typically growing in mud and/or shallow waters. The leaves are more
or less rosulate, subulate or cylindrical in shape, but
can be differentiated into a petiole, and with a spatulate to ovate blade. Many species are heteroblastic and
form submerged forms as well as land forms, and
forms with swimming leaves. The small flowers are
usually pedicellate, seldom sessile, and are open when
present in air, but half to wholly closed when submerged in mud or water. The calyx is campanulate,
five- (rarely four-) lobed. The white, pink, blue or lilac
corolla consists of a cylindrical tube and a limb with
five (rarely four) lobes with an indumentum of eglan-
dular and glandular hairs. The number of stamens is
typically four and the anthers are unithecous. The
two-locular ovary carries a lingulate style with a
rounded, sometimes weakly bifid, stigma. The fruit is
small and opens with two valves, with the number of
yellowish to brown seeds varying from three to over a
hundred. The genus was placed in the tribe Sibthorpiae by Bentham (1846) and in Gratioleae by Hallier
(1903), and was last revised by Glück (1934). Dumortier (1827) established the tribe Limoselleae for
Limosella.
The aims of this study were to establish a phylogeny
that could be used to answer the following questions:
are Manulea, Jamesbrittenia and Sutera monophyletic in their current circumscriptions, do the diagnostic features used to circumscribe and distinguish these
genera reflect evolutionary history, and what is the
taxonomic position of Limosella?
MATERIAL AND METHODS
CHOICE
OF TAXA AND GENES
We generated molecular data sets of sequences from
the chloroplast regions ndhF and trnT-F, and from the
nuclear ITS region, using already published sequences
as well as new sequencing. To achieve a sampling as
representative as possible, we sought taxa from all
subgeneric groups of Jamesbrittenia, Manulea and
Sutera recognized by Hilliard (1994). We sampled
major groups of the Lamiales sensu APGII (The
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2003) to ascertain the
position of Limosella. Olea europea was chosen as outgroup for the analysis of ndhF as Oleaceae has been
shown to occupy a basal position in the Lamiales
(Oxelman, Backlund & Bremer, 1999). In the combined and in the ITS analyses, we used Buddleja as
outgroup, since it has been shown to be closely related
to the Scrophularia/Verbascum/Manuleeae clade
(Kornhall et al., 2001; Olmstead et al., 2001; Bremer
et al., 2002). We sequenced ndhF as the region has
been shown to carry information at this level of phylogeny in related taxa (Oxelman et al., 1999). TrnT-F
was chosen to enhance resolution in more closely
related taxa as the introns seem to have a faster substitution rate and hence yield higher phylogenetic resolution. By trnT-F we mean the whole region between
the trnT (UGU) and the trnF (GAA) genes, including
exons and intron of the trnL (UAA) gene and the two
intergenic spacers. After indication of a hybrid event
we also sequenced the nuclear internal transcribed
spacer, ITS, in order to reveal discrepancy between the
evolutionary histories of the nuclear and the chloroplast genome. Sequences from the ITS region have
been widely used for phylogenetic purposes especially
in closely related taxa (Baldwin, 1992; Baldwin et al.,

THE TRIBE LIMOSELLEAE (SCROPHULARIACEAE)
1995; Andreasen & Bremer, 2000; Zimmer et al.,
2002). All investigated species together with EMBL/
GenBank accession numbers are shown in Appendix
4. From the sequences achieved we produced three
data sets for analysis, one of ndhF to obtain a broader
overview of the position of Limosella and Jamesbrittenia, and two data sets, one with the nuclear ITS
sequences, and a combined of all three genes in order
to investigate the Manulea/Sutera complex.
SEQUENCING
AND ALIGNMENT
Extraction and PCR amplification was carried out following the protocols described in Kornhall et al.
(2001). The ITS primers used are shown in Appendix
1. We performed sequencing on a MegaBACE 1000
DNA analysis system (Amersham Biosciences) following the protocol of the manufacturer. Sequenced fragments were assembled and edited using the software
SEQUENCHER 3.1.1 (Gene Codes Corporation,
1991), and were thereafter imported into SE-AL alignment software (Rambaut, 1995) for alignment by eye.
We excluded from the analyses very variable parts of
the trnT-F and ITS matrices when we could not ascertain homology. The aligned matrices are available
from the correspondence author.
PHYLOGENETIC
METHODS
Phylogenetic methods used were maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP).
We performed parallel analyses with MP and PP on all
data sets. All MP analyses were performed with the
PAUP* ver. 4.0b2a software (Swofford, 1999). Since
several authors (Källersjö, Albert & Farris, 1999; Sennblad & Bremer, 2000) have pointed out that there is
no justification for a priori weighting of codon positions when using parsimony, we weighted all positions
equally.
For the PP analyses we used the program
MRBAYES ver. 2.01 (Huelsenbeck & Ronquist, 2001).
To evaluate the runs we ran three independent analyses from random prior trees on all data sets, each
with four heated chains. We plotted the support values
for important nodes to obtain a measure of how well
the chains had reached stationary following Huelsenbeck et al. (2002) and Leache & Reeder (2002), and
estimated the burn-in by plotting the logarithm of the
likelihood. We made preliminary runs with different
models and as choice of model did not apparently
change the result of the runs, we chose a model that
made it possible to evaluate different parameters and
followed our previous study (Kornhall et al., 2001).
The model chosen for PP analyses was the general
time reversible (GTR) model.
455
For the ndhF data set, the MP analyses consisted of
a heuristic and a jackknife analysis. The heuristic
analysis was run with 15 addition sequence replicates
and TBR branch swapping. The jackknife was run
with 10 000 jackknife replicates, 37% of characters
deleted, ‘jac’ resampling method used (Farris et al.,
1996), and we used NNI branch-swapping. The PP
analysis on the ndhF was made with site-specific rates
and site partition by codon. The chains were run for
220 000 generations.
For the ITS, a heuristic MP search was carried out
with a restraint of no more than 1000 trees saved in
every addition sequence replicate. This was done to
shorten computing time. The analysis was run with
ten addition sequence replicates. Otherwise, the MP
analysis was carried out as on the ndhF data set with
the exception that the jackknife was done with 20 000
replicates. In the Bayesian analysis we used a model
with gamma distributed rates instead of site-specific
rates, otherwise the settings were identical to the
ndhF analysis.
The setting of the analyses of the combined data set
was identical to the ITS, with the exception that the
MP heuristic search was done as on the ndhF data.
MORPHOLOGY
Morphological traits were investigated using herbarium material. Flowers were studied after rehydration
in heated water with a little detergent added. Ovaries
from selected taxa were studied under a dissecting
microscope. Along with the voucher material for the
sequencing, type material of all species of Sutera was
studied. We checked especially characters used by Hilliard (1994) to discriminate between Manulea and
Sutera.
RESULTS
This study presents 22 new trnT-F, 26 new ITS and
41 new ndhF sequences. The ndhF data set consists
of 77 taxa and 2260 unordered equally weighted
characters, 1337 of which are constant and 548
(24%) parsimony-informative. The heuristic MP
search yielded 18 157 equally parsimonious trees of
length 2374, with consistency index, CI = 0.57, and
retention index, RI = 0.78. The topologies of the trees
obtained in the MP jackknife analyses were the
same as in the PP analysis and are not shown here.
The tree obtained in the PP analysis is shown in
Figure 1. All PP runs gave the same topology and
none of the nodes plotted varied more than 3% (see
Appendix 1). Parameter values obtained in the runs
are shown in Appendix 1. The rate of substitution
for the third position is higher, as expected, followed

by the first position and then the second. The burnin was estimated to 50 000 generations. The likelihood was then stable for approximately 30 000
generations in all three runs. The genus Sutera is, in
this analysis, paraphyletic. Sutera sect. Chaenostoma constitutes a monophyletic clade (100% PP) as
does Manulea (also 100% PP). These two form a well
supported clade (100% PP) that is a sister-clade to
the representatives of Sutera sect. Sutera. The whole
Manulea/Sutera complex is monophyletic with 100%
posterior probability. Jamesbrittenia is, according to
our results, a well-defined and highly supported

clearly positioned inside the Manuleeae.
The ITS data set consists of 41 taxa and 904 unordered equally weighted characters, 533 of which are

shown in Appendices 2 and 3. No nodes varied more
than 3% from the average PP. Burn-in was estimated
to 20 000 generations. All three runs were then stable
for approximately 10 000 generations. In the analysis
of the ITS data set, Sutera is monophyletic, though not
significantly supported (80% PP). Manulea is monophyletic (100% PP) as is the Manulea/Sutera clade
(100% PP). An anomaly exists in the analysis, namely
the position of Verbascum. This position inside Manuleeae of a rather distant basal taxon is probably
caused by scarce sampling and/or alignment problems.
The latter are possibly due to the fast evolving nature
of the ITS.
The combined data set consists of 34 taxa and 4862
unordered equally weighted characters, 3669 of which
are constant and 778 (16%) parsimony-informative.
The heuristic search gave 240 equally parsimonious
trees of length 1924, with CI = 0.76 and RI = 0.88. The
strict consensus tree of these (not shown) has the
same topology as the consensus tree obtained in the
jackknife (not shown) and PP analyses. One randomly
chosen tree from the heuristic search is shown as a
phylogram in Figure 3. The tree from the PP analysis
is shown in Figure 4. Parameter and node values are
shown in Appendices 2 and 3. Two nodes varied more
than 3%, namely nodes 4 and 23 (see Appendix 2). The
former node had a very low average PP (61.7%) and
the latter had a nonsignificant PP support value, 84%
in average and below 70% MP jackknife support.
Burn-in was estimated to 50 000 generations. All
three runs then had stable likelihoods for approximately 10 000 generations. The phylogeny resembles
the ndhF tree. Sutera is paraphyletic. Manulea and
Sutera sect. Chaenostoma constitute a clade with
100% PP, Sutera sect. Sutera is sister to that clade,
and the whole Manulea/Sutera complex is monophyletic (100% PP). The position of Limosella is also in
accordance with the results from the ndhF analysis.
In the morphological study we found that Sutera
foetida (All Batten 1164, S) had an evident semiannular gland, which contradicts the findings of
Hilliard (1994). Other examined specimens of Sutera
had lateral nectariferous glands, e.g. Sutera campanulata Kuntze (All Batten 998, S), Sutera patriotica
Hiern (Bremer & Bremer 3818, UPS), Sutera floribunda Kuntze (Bremer & Bremer 4315, UPS) and
Sutera calciphila Hilliard (Kornhall 52, UPS).
Simon, 1999; Huelsenbeck et al., 2001; Wilcox et al.,
2002; Zanis et al., 2002; Archibald, Mort & Crawford,
2003). New software for these statistics has made it
possible to analyse phylogenetic data with modelbased methods and obtain support values within a
reasonable time scale. In this study Bayesian inference was applied in parallel with parsimony as we
think that comparisons from real data sets between
measures of support from two methods are desirable.
Our experience from this and from an earlier study
(Kornhall et al., 2001) shows that results obtained
with Bayesian statistics do not differ from parsimony
in well supported nodes. This also seems to be the general picture emerging from other studies, e.g. Kårehed
(2002), Schneider et al. (2002) and Wilcox et al. (2002).
Bayesian probabilities generally tend to have a
numerically higher value than bootstrap support.
Bootstrap support of 70–80% roughly corresponds to
95% posterior probability in studies where both methods have been applied to the same data (Huelsenbeck

et al., 2002; Kauff & Lutzoni, 2002). There is criticism
that Bayesian statistics overestimate the support
from data (Suzuki, Glazko & Nei, 2002) and studies
that point to a risk of overparameterization (Rannala,
2002; Rydin & Kallersjo, 2002). However, there is also
a study by Wilcox et al. (2002) which claims that Bayesian inference gives more accurate support values. We
think Bayesian statistics has an advantage in that the

results are easily interpreted according to biological
praxis, i.e. posterior probabilities can be treated as
‘normal’ statistical probabilities, and 5% significance
level used to test hypotheses (Huelsenbeck et al.,
2002; Leache & Reeder, 2002). In bootstrap or jackknife analyses, where to place confidence levels is
more or less arbitrary as the statistical meaning of the
support is difficult to interpret.
TAXONOMY
Our results have implications for the taxonomy of the
group. We will give below a new broadened circumscription of the Limoselleae to encompass the taxa of
the Manuleeae. We will also give a new circumscription of the genus Sutera and revive the name Chaenostoma for a genus consisting of Sutera sect.
Chaenostoma.
About Jamesbrittenia
We conclude that Hilliard’s (1994) wide circumscription of Jamesbrittenia is strongly supported by molecular evidence. We note that ITS was comparably
difficult to amplify from the genus. This, together with
the rather high chromosome number of n = 24 compared with a normally lower number of 14–16 in the
Manuleeae, could indicate polymorphism in the
nuclear genome. This could be tested by cloning and
subsequent sequencing.
Limosella – Limoselleae
The position of the sampled Limosella species within a
clade with members from the tribe Manuleeae is indisputable from our molecular analyses (Figs 1, 2, 4) and
is also supported by B. Oxelman, P. Kornhall, R. G.
Olmstead & B. Bremer (unpubl. data). However, only a
few morphological traits support this position, one of
which is the occurrence of synthecous anthers. On the
other hand, there are no characters that contradict
such a placement. The name Limoselleae, erected in
1827 by Dumortier, has priority over Manuleeae that
was erected by Bentham & Hooker f. in 1876, and
Selagineae and Hebenstretieae that were erected by
Horaninov in 1847. We therefore propose below a new
circumscription of the tribe Limoselleae that also
includes the taxa of the Manuleeae.
As implied by the geographical distribution of
extant Limoselleae (in the above sense) taxa, the
ancestors of the present day Limoselleae probably
were confined to southern Africa. According to an earlier study of the tribe Manuleeae (Kornhall et al.,
2001) the more basal taxa of the group have ovaries
that contain many and hence smaller seeds. The taxa
with larger seeds and fewer ovules appear further up
in the cladograms. We could envisage that at some
point, the lineage leading to Limosella evolved even
smaller seeds and a mud-loving ecology. The traits for
propagation in and through mud facilitated a wide distribution by migrating birds and thus made Limosella
the first and only part of the Limoselleae to achieve a
global distribution. That water plants with small
seeds are widely dispersed is noted by, among others,
Charles Darwin (1872). In The origin of species he
writes: ‘. . . it has long been known what enormous
ranges many fresh-water, and even marsh species,
have, both over continents and to the most remote oceanic islands. . . . for the latter seem immediately to
acquire, as if in consequence, a wide range’. A wide dispersion of aquatic plants is also noted by more recent
authors such as Ridley (1930) and Gleason & Cronquist (1964). It is a fascinating thought that the cosmopolitan genus Limosella may have arisen from
predecessors in southern Africa, especially when it is
remembered that many of the Limoselleae are
adapted to southern Africa’s rather dry conditions.
Manulea/Sutera and Chaenostoma?
The chloroplast and the combined analyses clearly
show a paraphyletic Sutera, but the ITS analysis indicates monophyly of the genus. The latter result is
weak (not significant 80% PP), but taken together
with the morphological similarity of the sections
Sutera and Chaenostoma, the result is noteworthy.
The phylogram (Fig. 4) shows short branches in
both Manulea and Sutera sect. Chaenostoma. The
small sequence variation in Manulea and Sutera sect.
Chaenostoma in all analyses indicates that they have
either diverged very rapidly or have an extensive rate
of hybridization and introgression. There is no support
in our data for the subgeneric classification of Manulea by Hilliard (1994). None of the subgenera constitute monophyletic groups. The difference in nectaries,
which is one of the characters Hilliard (1994: 2) used
to discriminate between Manulea and Sutera, seems
to be a misconception. We found a conspicuous semiannular gland in S. foetida from sect. Sutera (see
Fig. 5), i.e. the character does not discriminate
between Manulea and Sutera.
There are three possible solutions to the taxonomic
enigma of the Manulea/Sutera complex: i) keep the
current taxonomy; ii) lump all taxa of the Manulea/
Sutera clade into an expanded Manulea (Manulea
published 1767 has priority over Sutera and Chaenostoma); or iii) split Sutera into two genera. Of these
solutions the first, though appealing for reasons of
taxonomic stability, does not take into account the
strong evolutionary evidence from the chloroplast
genome. The second, to lump all taxa of the Manulea/
Sutera clade into an expanded Manulea, does not
give recognition to the morphological diversity that in
the first hand motivated the creation of the genera.
There are characters, such as the non-decurrent pos-

ticous filaments, that could be used as diagnostic features for an expanded Manulea, but the
morphological heterogeneity would be quite high in
the genus. Manulea and Chaenostoma are, in almost
all cases, easy to distinguish in the field. Manulea differs from Chaenostoma by having reddish or brownish flowers, abruptly inflated and often bent at the
apex, in racemes, thyrses or panicles and with leaves
more or less rosulate. This is in contrast to Chaenostoma that most often have white, solitary flowers on
stems that are leafy throughout. This solution would

also require very many new combinations to be made
in Manulea. We believe that the third alternative is
the best, as it is supported by both molecular and
morphological data. It also requires relatively few
new combinations since many of the Sutera sect.
Chaenostoma species already have synonyms in
Chaenostoma. One or two species and hybrids of
Sutera, e.g. S. hispida Druce and S. cordata (sometimes sold under the erroneous name ‘Bacopa’), have
lately become quite popular as garden plants. These
will now be transferred to Chaenostoma. To avoid
this, the section Chaenostoma could possibly be conserved with a new type, but that would leave section
Sutera without any legitimate name. We therefore
propose revival of the nomen conservandum Chaenostoma for a genus consisting of the morphologically
distinct species in Sutera sect. Chaenostoma sensu
Hilliard, leaving Sutera consisting of Sutera sect.
Sutera (sensu Hilliard, 1994). The type of section
Chaenostoma, Sutera aethiopicum Kuntze, is unfortunately not represented in our molecular sampling,
but S. calciphila, S. patriotica and S. caerulea Hiern,
represent its closest allies (Hilliard, 1994). We conclude that the characters used to subdivide the Manulea/Sutera complex into two genera do not
demonstrate the evolutionary history of the species
involved. We think that the division of the complex
into three genera better reflects both the phylogeny
and the morphological diversity of the species
involved. A key to the genera Manulea, Chaenostoma
and Sutera, and generic descriptions are given below.
A list of the names and combinations in Chaenostoma
can be found in Appendix 2.
