The evolutionary puzzle of Jongkindia (Passifloraceae s.l.), a new monotypic genus and tribe from Liberia, West Africa}, volume={77}, url={https://oaj.fupress.net/index.php/webbia/article/view/13470}, DOI={10.36253/jopt-13470}, abstractNote={<p class="p1"><em>Jongkindia</em>, a small tree species endemic to a local area in southeast Liberia, is described as a new monotypic genus of Passifloraceae sens. lat. Its only species <em>Jongkindia mulbahii</em> combines floral characteristics of the Turneraceae and fruit characteristics of the Passifloraceae s.s. (or subfamily Passifloroideae in APG) and can therefore be regarded to occupy an isolated morphological position. This is confirmed here by DNA sequence-based phylogenetic analyses including most Passifloracean genera, which places it as sister to Passifloroideae. We delineate 16 morphological characters and their states and optimise them on our reconstructed phylogenetic tree.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Based on these results we consider the Passifloraceae fruit characteristics (berries with arilled seeds) as synapomorphic for Passifloroideae. The monotypic<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><em>Pibiria</em> and <em>Jongkindia</em> are predominantly characterised by autapomorphies. On the other hand, the <em>Adenia</em>/<em>Passiflora</em> clade is characterised by polymorphisms. We place <em>Jongkindia</em> in a new tribe Jongkindieae Breteler & F.T.Bakker. A draft plastome sequence for <em>Jongkindia mulbahii</em> is presented and evidence for two mitome to plastome (mtpt) fragment transfers is discussed. Structurally the <em>Jongkindia</em> plastome appears similar to that of <em>Populus</em>, <em>Adenia</em>, <em>Mitostemma</em>,<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><em>Dilkea</em>, and <em>Passiflora pittieri</em>, but not to contain the previously-described major inversions within other, more derived, <em>Passiflora</em> plastomes.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Webbia}, author={Breteler, Frans J. and Breman, Floris C. and Lei, Di and Bakker, Freek T.}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={229–246} }
