suggests that this subtribe does not belong in Gardenieae.
Posoqueria is nested among outgroup genera and consequently is not a member of the tribe. Robbrecht & Puffs
informal ‘tetrad group’ is monophyletic. Likewise, their ‘Alibertia group’ is supported as monophyletic,
although slightly rearranged. On the other hand, their ‘Aidia group’ must he greatly expanded with several genera in order to be monophyletic, but the monophyly of this group is weakly supported.
Several disputed genera should be included in Gardenieae (Anomanthodiu, Amaioua, Brachytome, and supposedly Bertima). Most inferred groups, howeGer, exhibit low bootstrap values and should he viewed
with caution.
