Note: 25: Enkianthus scored as ‘‘0’’ because it has free bracts, which are homologous to bracteoles. 28: the coding <strong>of</strong> this character for members<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Vaccinieae, e.g., Vaccinium and Satyria, is problematic; they are coded as ‘‘0’’ based on the assumption that the colorful, fleshy sepals in<br />

Gaultheria and Diplycosia developed independently from the fleshy fruits <strong>of</strong> Vaccinieae; developmental studies would be useful. 60: See also<br />

hairs (no. 47), and capsule with thickened sutures (no.<br />

50). Paired appendages on the filament (no. 39-2) are an<br />

additional synapomorphy under DELTRAN optimization.<br />

Agarista is supported by the apomorphies <strong>of</strong> leaves revolute<br />

in the bud (no. 4), leaves with a dense vein reticulum<br />

(no. 7), and stamens lacking appendages (no. 38).<br />

Gaultheria is monophyletic if Pernettya (as represented<br />

by P. tasmanica) is included, based on their fleshy calyx<br />

lobes (no. 28).<br />

The Lyonia group is monophyletic in some trees, but<br />

is paraphyletic in others because Andromeda polifolia is<br />

placed within the group (as sister to Agarista). Characters<br />

supportive <strong>of</strong> the monophyly <strong>of</strong> the Lyonia group include<br />

bands <strong>of</strong> fibers in the phloem (no. 1), S-shaped filaments<br />

(no. 33), disintegration tissue on back <strong>of</strong> anthers (no. 42),<br />

and more or less elongated testa cells (no. 57). Members<br />

<strong>of</strong> this group also have leaves with lignified epidermal<br />

cells (no. 13) and anomocytic stomata (no. 20-0). Both<br />

features also occur in Andromeda and in some trees function<br />

as synapomorphies. Generic relationships within the<br />

Lyonia group are poorly resolved, but Craibiodendron is<br />

always sister to Lyonia (Figs. 1, 2), a relationship consistently<br />

supported by their homogeneous pith (no. 2-1)<br />

and bifacial leaf midrib bundles (no. 11).<br />

The Gaultheria group is never monophyletic, although<br />

some <strong>of</strong> these genera, i.e., Gaultheria, Pernettya, Zenobia,<br />

Leucothoë, and also Chamaedaphne, are linked in a<br />

few cladograms by the base chromosome number <strong>of</strong> 11<br />

(no. 59). Gaultheria, Pernettya, and Zenobia <strong>of</strong>ten form<br />

a clade based on the presence <strong>of</strong> forked anther appendages<br />

(no. 40). The monophyly <strong>of</strong> Leucothoë is equivocal,<br />

but L. racemosa and L. fontanesiana are sometimes<br />

linked by their inflorescences that are exposed during the<br />

winter (no. 23), a feature that also evolved in Pieris (Fig.<br />

2).<br />

Finally, although not a major focus in this investigation,<br />

we note that Sprengelia incarnata and Prionotes<br />

cerinthoides form a clade in all trees that is supported by<br />

the lignified leaf epidermis (character no. 13), elongated<br />

epidermal cells (no. 14), pedicel with several bracteoles<br />

(no. 24-2), and smooth staminal filaments (no. 36-2).<br />

These two species represent the epacrid clade (see Crayn<br />

et al., 1996; Powell et al., 1996; Kron, 1997; Kron et al.,<br />

1998).<br />

Molecular data—Analysis <strong>of</strong> the rbcL data resulted in<br />

42 trees (L 503, CI 0.58, RI 0.50). The strict<br />

consensus (Fig. 3) indicates that few clades are well supported<br />

including: Vaccinieae (parjack 94), Lyonia (parjack<br />

99), and the Pieris floribunda P. formosa clade<br />

(parjack 90). Most <strong>of</strong> the structure in this tree collapses<br />

in trees one step longer. By contrast, the result <strong>of</strong> the<br />

matK analysis is much better resolved, especially within<br />

the Lyonia group (Fig. 4). In the matK analysis (four trees<br />

obtained, L 980, CI 0.65, RI 0.62) Vaccinieae<br />

and members <strong>of</strong> the Gaultheria group form a clade
