C., Colombia Abstract: Diplostephium comprises 111 neotropical species that live in high elevation habitats from Costa Rica to Chile. Primarily Andean, the genus seems to have undergone an adaptive radiation indicated by its high number of species, broad morphological variation, and diversification primarily in an ecosystem (pa´ramo) that formed within the last 2–5 my. Internal transcriber spacer (ITS) sequences and several chloroplast markers, rpoB, rpoC1, and psbA-trnH were sequenced in order to infer a preliminary phylogeny of the genus. The chloroplast regions showed no significant variation within the genus. New ITS data were therefore analyzed together with published sequences for generating a topology. Results suggest that Diplostephium and other South American genera comprise a polytomy within which a previously described North American clade is nested. Monophyly of Diplostephium was neither supported nor rejected, but the formation of a main crown clade using different methods of analysis suggests that at least a good portion of the genus is monophyletic. A Shimodaira-Hasegawa test comparing the topology obtained and a constrained one forcing Diplostephium to be monophyletic showed no significant difference between them. Monophyly of some of the previously proposed series of the genus was not supported by the phylogenetic tree. Morphological character mapping results suggest that the high Andean forest tree species are derived from shrubby pa´ramo-puna ancestors, contradicting previous hypotheses about morphological evolution of the genus and documenting an atypical trend of downslope diversification in pa´ramo plants. Keywords: Adaptive radiation, Andes Cordillera, Astereae, Diplostephium, high Andean forest, ITS, morphological evolution, pa´ramo, psbA-trnH, puna, rpoB, rpoC1.

University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA Integrative Biology and Plant Resources Center, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Chrissen E. C. Gemmill Abstract—A recent phylogenomic study has shown that Diplostephium in its broad sense is biphyletic. While one of the clades comprises 60 species distributed mainly in the Northern Andes, the clade that contains the generic type, Diplostephium ericoides,contains48species,andprimarilyinhabitsthe Central Andes. Here, I propose to reinstate the generic name Piofontia and transfer to it the species of Diplostephium in the Northern Andean clade. Piofontia consists, then, of 60 species of woody subshrubs, shrubs, and small trees inhabiting high Andean forests and p´aramos of Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. A morphological description is provided for the genus Piofontia along with a species list with 60 new combinations. Dysaster cajamarcensis is shown to be a synonym of Diplostephium serratifolium.

To date, no study has comprehensively examined the 32 plastome for gene tree conflict. 33 • Methods: Using a broad sampling of angiosperm plastomes, we characterized gene tree 34 conflict among plastid genes at various time scales and explore correlates to conflict (e.g., 35 evolutionary rate, gene length, molecule type).
