Analysis of DNA sequence data shows that the African members of Stomatanthes should be merged with Eupatorium
Abstract
Analysis of DNA sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS regions and the plastid spacer trnH-psbA showed that African species of Stomatanthes nested within the widely distributed Eupatorium (North America, Europe, Asia should be included within it. A survey of ITS sequences from herbarium specimens of Stomatanthes from Africa confirmed their monophyly and showed some variability that did not correlate with current species boundaries.
