Past classifications of the tribe Acacieae Rchb. are outlined and the confusion concerning the relationships of the three subgenera of Acacia Mill. are highlighted. A plastid DNA analysis of Acacieae shows that the genus Acacia is not monophyletic. Furthermore subgenera Acacia Vassal and Anrleiferwn Vassal are sister taxa and neither appear closely related to subgenus fiyllodineae (DC.) Ser. Subgenera Acacia and Aculciferum form a clade that is basal to a well-supported clade consisting of tribe Ingeae Benth. taxa, Faidherbia albida @el.) A. Chev. and subgenus Phyllodincuc. The series of relationships suggested by the cpDNA data contradicts previous investigations of the tribe. Possible explanations of this conflict are explored, and the taxonomic implications of the plastid DNA data set are considered. 8 2000 The Linnean Society of London

1981). Approximately 1200 species of Acacia have been described, the majority of which are endemic to Australia (Mash & Stirton, 1997).
The taxonomy of the genus has been in a state of flux since it was first described by Miller (1 754). Initially it was an ill-defined, heterogeneous assemblage and it was not until Bentham’s series of papers (1 841 , 1842a, by 1845, 1846, 1865, 1875) that the present generic limits were established. Bentham (1841) adopted the tribe Acacieae Rchb. as one of the three Tribes constituting his suborder Mimosoideae, and included the genus Acacia, with the genera Albizia Durazz., Calliandra Benth., Lysiloma Benth., Ggia Walp., Enterolobium Mart., Pithecellobium Mart., Serianthes Benth., Inga Mill. and Afomea A. St.-Hil. (Bentham 1842a, b). Bentham (1865) subsequently made substantial changes to the tribe by restricting it to Acacia, creating the tribe Ingeae Benth. to accommodate the other genera, and dividing Acacia into six series (Table 1; Bentham, 1875). These series were based primarily on vegetative characters (foliage and spinescence), and secondarily on inflorescence characters; fruit was largely ignored (Bentham, 1875). This classification formed the basis for subsequent revision of Acacia.
Vassal (1972) and Guinet & Vassal (1978) attempted to define precisely generic subdivisions and determine their degree of relationship to each other. Vassal (1 972) recognized three subgenera, broadly similar to Bentham’s (1875) series (Table l), and moved the African species Acacia albida Del. to the monotypic genus Faidherbia A. Chev. within the tribe Acacieae. Vassal (1 972) distinguished three subgenera, Acacia, Acuh$mm and Phyllodineae, each defined by a suite of characters. He named this subgenus Hetemphyllum Vassal, but the name Phyllodineae (DC.) Ser. has priority. Guinet & Vassal (1978) then assessed the degree of specialization of each of these characters and divided them into three states, unspecialized, specialized and highly specialized. For example, inflorescence type was divided into spicate (unspecialized), obloid (specialized), and globose (highly specialized). Guinet & Vassal (1978) con- cluded that if the correlation between subgenera and characters was correct then, subgenera Aculeiferum and Phyllodineae were more closely related to each other than either was to subgenus Acacia, despite subgenera Acacia and Aculeiferum sharing a common geographical distribution: the Neotropics, Asia and Africa. That species groups represented in the Americas have a preponderance of ‘unspecialized‘ character states, and character specialization occurred away from the Americas, led Guinet & Vassal (1978) to suggest an origin of the genus in West Gondwana.
Despite its shortcomings, primarily based upon the apparently arbitrary way in
PHYLOGENY OF AC4CL4 197
which character polarity was determined and the way that continuous variation was split into discrete classes, Guinet & Vassal (1 978) produced a workable phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus. This hypothesis formed the basis for Pedley’s (1986) phylogenetic treatment of the genus, which aimed to determine: (i) whether the genus Acacia should be treated as three separate taxa; and (ii) whether these taxa should be treated as genera, rather than subgenera or series.
Pedley (1986) concluded that the genus Acacia, as defined by Guinet & Vassal (1978), was too broadly conceived, and three genera should be recognized, Acacia Mill. ( =Acacia subgenus Acacia), Senegalia RaE ( =Acacia subgenus Acula.mm) and Racospenna (DC.) Mart. (=Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae; Table l), on the basis that proposals to split other large taxa had been made, e.g. Cassieae Bronn (Leguminoseae; Irwin & Barneby, 1981), Thtania R. Br. (Myrtaceae; Wilson & Waterhouse, 1982), Euca&tus L‘Her. (Myrtaceae; Johnson, 1976), and through the application of Williams’ index of diversity (Williams, 1964). Like Guinet & Vassal (1978), Pedley (1 986) concluded that subgenera Aculezzmm and Phyllodineae were closely related, both being distinguished from subgenus Acacia. Pedley (1986) suggested that direct derivation of Senegalia from Acacia sensu Pedley, or the reverse, was unlikely and that Acacia sensu Pedley and Senegalia/Racospenna were derived from different lines within the Ingeae. In addition, Pedley (1986) suggested that Acacia sensu Pedley was affiliated with Pithecellobium (Ingeae) and that Senegalia and Racospemza had affinities with Calliandra (Ingeae). This implies that the tribe Acacieae is polyphyletic, although no data were presented by Pedley (1986) to support Pithecellobiurn and Calliandra as relatives of Acacia sensu Pedley and Senegalia/Racospenna respectively.
Researchers in legume systematics greeted these proposals unenthusiastically (Pedley, 1987), although they stimulated new research into the genus and its relatives (Maslin, 1987). Chappill & Maslin (1995) in a cladistic analysis of the genera of the Mimosoidem concluded that (i) the genus Acacia was not monophyletic and (ii) subgenera Aculafmm and Phyllodineue form a monophyletic group basal to the tribe Ingeae, with subgenus Acacia and Faidherbia nested separately within the tribe Ingeae. Whilst supporting previous studies (Guinet 1969, Pedley 1986), Chappill & M a s h (1 995) considered it inadvisable to split the genus formally. This was the first study to analyse objectively morphological characters in the Acacieae. In addition, Chappill & Maslin (1995) conducted an infrageneric analysis of the genus Acacia the results of which broadly supported the findings of the generic analysis.
Grimes (1995) investigated the generic relationships of the tribe Ingeae, although not explicitly investigating the relationships of the Acacieae, exemplars of the three subgenera (sensu Vassal) of Acacia and Faidherbia were included. Grimes’ (1 995) results indicated that the Acacieae and Ingeae should be amalgamated, although the relationships of the Acacia subgenera to each other were unclear due to an unresolved polytomy. All three Acacia subgenera, and Faidherbia, were basal to a well-supported clade consisting of Pithcellobium and its allies.
These results are in direct contradiction to those of Chappill & Maslin (1995); this is also the case for the many of the Ingeae genera common to both analyses. Thus there is a case for determining the relationships of Acacia subgenera based on alternative data sources. To aid this endeavour Maslin & Stirton (1997) compiled a list of critical species ofdcacia, with which a comparative data set could be constructed. M a s h & Stirton (1997) suggested an informal classification of Acacia (based on Vassal, 1972 and Pedley, 1978). Within this classification they grouped together species according to their presumed taxonomic affinities. In each of the groups
198 J. ROBINSON AND S. A. HARRIS
several taxa were highlighted as being representative of the group, and Maslin & Stirton (1 997) suggested that research on the genus should include as many of these taxa as possible. For example, Acacia subgenus Acuh.$mm section Aculeiferum was divided into two groups; those with prickles in pairs (e.g. A . rnellijira (Vahl) Benth.), and those with prickles solitary or in threes (e.g. A. senegal (L.) Willd.).
The conservative nature of plastid DNA evolution, and the low levels of homoplasy seen in cpDNA restriction site studies (Givnish & Sytsma, 1997) make this approach useful for producing independent data for assessing phylogenetic relationships, for example Pennington (1 995), Wiegreffe, Sytsma & Guries (1 998), Mason-Gamer & Kellogg (1996), Jansen et al. (1992), Olmstead & Palmer (1992).
The aims of the present study are (i) to evaluate whether the tribe Acacieae is monophyletic; and (ii) to determine the relationships between the taxa in the tribe Acacieae.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Material
The choice of Acacia taxa (Table 2) was based upon Maslin & Stirton’s (1997) list of ‘critical species’ for the preparation of comparative data sets in the genus. Ten of the 15 groups defined by Maslin & Stirton (1997) were represented in the sampling, and additional taxa were analysed to give broad sampling of subgenera Acacia and Acuhfmn. Within subgenus Phyllodineae, with approximately 900 taxa, and over 103 ‘critical taxa’, the taxa included in this study were chosen from a list of ‘suitable’ taxa supplied by Bruce Maslin (Western Australia Herbarium, pers. comm.) as representative of the subgenus. Additional taxa, broadly sampled from the Ingeae, and piptudenia viridjriora (Kunth) Benth. from the Mimoseae were also included.
Anabsis ofplastid DNA
Total DNA was extracted from either fresh or silica-gel dried (Chase & Hillis, 199 1) leaves according to a modified version of Doyle & Doyle (1 987), and purified on caesium chloride density gradients (Maniatis, Fritsch & Sambrook, 1982). DNA from dried material was extracted according to Harris & Robinson (1994). Ap- proximately 500ng of total DNA were digested with each of 15 6bp-cutting restriction endonucleases (Aha I, BamH I, Bcl I, Bgl 11, Ch I, EcoR I, EcoR V, HinD 111, I, Pst I, h 11, Stu I, Smu I, Sst I, Xho I; New England Biolabs Inc.) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Digested DNA fragments were separated on 1 Yo agarose gels and transferred to nylon membranes using the method of Southern (1 975). Nylon membranes were sequentially probed with non-overlapping 32P- labelled V f a radiatu plastid DNA probes (Feinberg & Vogelstein, 1983; Dowling et al., 1996). Probes MB8 and MB9 were used together, whilst probes MB1, MB2, MB3, MB5, MB7, MB 1 1, MB12 were used individually. Together these probes covered more than 89% of the chloroplast genome. The resulting autoradiographs were then used to construct restriction maps of the taxa (Palmer, 1986), using the

site occurrence analysis (SOA) of Bremer (1991). The fragments were sized using internal standards (HinD III/h) and the algorithms derived by Schaffer (1993). A complete data matrix is available from the senior author (JR), and a list of the restriction sites, the probe which revealed the change, and the taxa in which the change occurred are presented in the Appendix.
Data anahsis
Restriction sites were scored as either present (l), absent (0) or data missing (?) for each of the 68 taxa studied. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using PAUP* 4.0 b (Swofford, 1993) on an Apple Power Macintosh 730/200. Due to the size of the data matrix (68 taxa x 39lcharacters), exact search methods were impractical, therefore heuristic methods were used; 100 random addition replicates, using the tree bisection-reconnection swapping algorithm (Swofford, 1993). PAUP was also used to construct decay analyses and perform bootstrap and jackknife procedures; both the bootstrap and jackknife analyses used 1000 replicates of a ‘fast heuristic’ search in PAUP.
RESULTS
Restriction maps were constructed for all 68 taxa studied. At least 559 restriction sites were identified. Assuming a genome size of approximately 150 kb (Palmer, 1985), 3354 bp or 2.2% of the genome was sampled. Of the 391 polymorphic sites, 137 (35%) were autapomorphic, and 245 (65%) informative sites, shared between two or more taxa.
The heuristic analysis resulted in 720 minimal length trees of length 675 steps (Fig. lA, B), with a consistency index of 0.55 (including all characters), and a retention index of 0.84. Three major clades were identified from the consensus tree (Fig. 1A). Clude A. This clade consisted of all taxa from the tribe Ingeae, Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae, and Faidher6ia albda (Del.) A. Chev. The clade occurred in trees up to 20 steps longer than the minimal length tree and in 100% of the bootstrap and the jacknife analyses.
Chde B. This clade consisted of all Acacia subgenus Acacia taxa investigated. The clade occurred in trees that were up to nine steps longer than the minimal length tree and in 97% of the bootstrap and the jackknife analyses.
CZude C. This clade consisted of all Acacia subgenus AcuZefmm taxa investigated. This clade was not well-supported, being lost when trees one step longer than the minimal length tree were considered, and had zero bootstrap and jackknife support. Within this clade there were two well-supported clades. One corresponded to section Filicinae, and occurred in all trees 20 steps longer than the minimal length tree. The other clade, corresponded to sections Monocantha and Acuhimm, and occurred in all trees up to six steps longer than the minimal length tree plus, 53% and 51% of the bootstrap and jackknife analyses respectively.
Clades A and B are well supported, with high decay indices and bootstrap/

jackknife values. Clade C is less well supported, though within this clade two lineages are well supported. Within clade A the clade corresponding to subgenus Phyllodineae is well supported (Fig. 1). The support for clades B and C, an ‘Acacia ss.’ clade is good. It is well-supported (69 and 70%) in the bootstrap and jackknife analyses, but lost when trees four steps longer than the minimal length tree are considered. Decay indices greater than this produce a trichotomy of clades A, B and C.
DISCUSSION
Three clades were identified in the strict consensus tree; subgenera Acacia (clade B), Acuhijimm (clade C) and Phyllodineae (in clade A) are monophyletic (Fig. 2). The monophyly of each subgenus has not been disputed, since each subgenus is clearly defined by many morphological and chemical characters (Guinet & Vassal, 1978; Pedley, 1986; Maslin, 1988; Chappill & Maslin, 1995). However, the relationships between the subgenera indicates that the genus Acacia is not monophyletic (Fig. 2). Subgenera Acacia and Aculeiferum form a monophyletic group, whilst subgenus Phyllodineae is separated from this clade by members of the tribe Ingeae. Faidherbia albida appears basal to the Ingeae and subgenus Phyllodineae clade.
Statistics and indices for measuring tree ‘robustness’ are varied, but the most commonly used are consistency index (C.I., Kluge & Farris, 1969), decay indices (Bremer, 1988) and bootstrap/jackknife values (Felsenstein, 1985; Farris et al., 1996). Consistency index is viewed as an inverse measure of overall homoplasy for a particular tree (Givnish & Sytsma, 1997), and Sanderson & Donoghue (1 989) showed that the C.I. decreases with increasing numbers of taxa analysed. Givnish & Sytsma (1997) list 40 cpDNA restriction site studies, and within this list there are few studies utilizing as large a number of taxa as in this study, although comparing the C.I. of this study (C.I. =0.554) it appears that a C.I. of 0.554 appears to be standard for 68 taxa. In contrast, retention index (R.I.; Farris, 1989) indicates how well the characters fit the tree that describes them, and R.I. in this study (0.84) is high.
The non-monophyly of Acacia s.1. has been proposed in two recent treatments (Pedley, 1986; Chappill & Maslin, 1995). However, the conclusions of these in- vestigations differ substantially from the cpDNA results reported here. Pedley (1 986) concluded that subgenera Aculeiferum and Phyllodineae were closely related; both clearly distinguished from subgenus Acacia. Furthermore he indicated that subgenus Acacia and Phyllodineae and Aculeiferum, were derived from different lineages within the Ingeae. Chappill & Maslin (1995) presented similar conclusions concerning the non- monophyly of Acacia s.1. and the relationships of the subgenera. Subgenus Acacia was

sister to Calliandra, whilst subgenera Acule fmm and Phyllodineae form a monophyletic group basal to the tribe Ingeae and subgenus Acacia (Fig. 3).
Relationships within the tribe Acacieae
Results of the present investigation of cpDNA restriction site variation in the subgenera of the genus Acacia, contradict the results of Chappill & Maslin (1995), and all previous investigations (e.g. Pedley, 1986; Guinet & Vassal, 1978; Guinet, 1990). The cpDNA results show that subgenera Acacia and Aculeijimm are sister taxa and that neither subgenus is closely related to the Ingeae, in contrast to previous suggestions (Pedley, 1986). In contrast, subgenus Phyllodineae, is not closely related to the other Acacia subgenera, rather it appears most closely related to genera within the tribe Ingeae (Fig. 2). A close relationship between subgenera Aculeiferum and Pbllodineae has been suggested in previous classifications and investigations of the genus (Pedley, 1986; Guinet, 1990; Brain, 1987, 1990; Conn et al., 1989). These studies utilized morphological and chemical characters; pollen morphology and free amino acid type have been the main characters used to distinguish subgenera Aculeiferum and Phyllodineae from subgenus Acacia (Pedley, 1986; Guinet, 1990; Chappill & Maslin, 1995; Table 3).
Pollen characters appear to provide the strongest link between subgenera Acule fmm and Phyllodineae (Guinet, 198 1); both subgenera lack columellae with either porate or extraporate apertures. Subgenus Acacia has columellae with colporate apertures. Subgenera Acacia and Aculeifemm however share a lack of exine ornamentation. In the Tribes Ingeae and Mimoseae all the pollen characters found in Acacieae are also present (Guinet, 1990). Free amino acids offer less satisfactory evidence of a close relationship between the subgenera Acule fmm and Phyllodineae, although they illustrate that subgenus Acacia is distinct from the other subgenera. Again all of the free amino acids are found in other taxa in the tribes Ingeae and Mimoseae (Southon, 1994).
A criticism of both these data sets is their polymorphic nature; several character states have arisen more than once (Chappill & Maslin, 1995). For example, the occurrence of albizzine in the seeds; albizzine is absent from subgenus Acacia, but is present in some, but not all taxa from subgenera Aculeijimm and Phyllodineae and tribe Ingeae. The spectrum of unrelated taxa that have albizzine present in their seeds effectively rules out a single origin of albizzine, and suggests the possibility of multiple losses of albizzine. This is true whichever phylogeny is ‘correct’. It is possible that some characters have been lost repeatedly rather than having multiple origins. Additionally, some taxa appear to be ‘united’ in their lack of certain characters, e.g. both subgenera Acule fmm and Phyllodineae lack columellae. The interpretation of both sets of data appears to depend crucially on the weight given to certain characters and how the polarity of those characters has been determined. This, when combined with an independent data set which strongly suggests a different set of relationships, would indicate that re-evaluation of these morphological and chemical characters is needed.
Recently Dayanandan, Bawa & Kesseli (1997) sequenced the rbcL gene of the cpDNA genome for several tropical woody legume taxa, including some Ingeae and one Acacia species. Unfortunately the strict consensus tree is only partially resolved. However, all the Ingeae studied (only Pithecellobium, Enterolobium, Albizia and Balizia

Barneby & J.W.Grimes) formed a clade, to which Acacia collinsii SafK, a member of subgenus Acacia, was basal. This is entirely consistent with the cpDNA restriction site data, and would support the relationships suggested by the cpDNA restriction site data.
This is not the place for a critique of Chappill & Maslin’s (1995) analysis, but there are three important points to consider. Firstly, Chappill & M a s h (1995) conducted two analyses, a generic analysis of the Mimosoideae and an infrageneric analysis of the tribe Acacieae, the results from both analyses were partially con- tradictory, including the positioning of the subgenera of Acacia. For example, in the generic analysis subgenus Aculeiimm formed a monophyletic group basal to the Ingeae. However, in the infrageneric analysis, it formed a paraphyletic group between the Ingeae and subgenus Phyllodineae. Both these results contradict Grimes (1995). Secondly, both analyses appear to contain a large amount of missing data, which can seriously hinder phylogeny reconstruction (Swofford et al., 1996). Chappill & Maslin (1995) alluded to this in their generic analysis, and in the data matrix for the infrageneric analysis (appendix 1 in Chappill & M a s h 1995) approximately 28% of the data was coded as missing. Finally, a critical feature of cladistics is that synapomorphic characters must be identified and that they alone provide the basis for clade identification (Avise, 1994). Despite this Chappell & Maslin (1 995) include characters which we believe fall into this category.
Bukhari, Koivu & Tigerstedt (1999) using cpDNA RFLP data, assessed the relationships of the three subgenera of Acacia and Faidherbia, but did not discuss the phylogeny of Acacia s.1. in relation to any other mimosoid taxa. The characters Bukhari et al. (1 999) use appear to be fragments in the fragment occurrence analysis method of Bremer (1991). This may lead to problems with scoring homologous bands in the analysis, in contrast to the site occurrence analysis (SOA) used here. Bremer (1 99 1) showed that restriction fragment methods are less accurate than restriction site methods for phylogenetic analyses. The analysis reported here used a greater number of restriction enzymes than Bukhari et al.3 (1999) analysis, resulting in a greater number of characters in the data matrix. Both analyses found each subgenus to be monophyletic, only differing in the placement of Faidherbia. Bukhari et al.’s (1999) analysis placed Faidherbia within subgenus Aculefmm, the present investigation placed it basal to a combined Ingeae and subgenus Phyllodineue. The reason for this difference cannot be determined as Bukhari et al.’s (1999) analysis lacks any Ingeae.
Grimes (in press), in a continuation of his work on the Ingeae and their inflorescence morphology (Grimes, 1992, 1995), used exemplars from the Acacieae and showed that they were divided into two groups. A clade of Faidherbia and subgenera Acacia and Acuhamm, formed a sister clade to the Fithecellobium alliance (sensu Barneby & Grimes, 1996), whilst subgenus Phyllodineae was found to be basal to all other ingroup taxa. Direct comparison with Grimes (in press) is hindered by his concern with relationships in the Ingeae taxa and the inclusion of Acacieae exemplars, whereas the study reported here was concerned with the Acacieae and the included Ingeae exemplars. However, Grimes’ (in press) conclusions that in terms of inflorescence structure and growth, subgenera Acacia and Aculkfmm are more similar to American Ingeae than to subgenus Phyllodineue are supported by the results reported here.
There are several possible causes of discordance between gene trees and species trees in a cpDNA phylogeny (Maddison, 1997; Doyle, 1992), of which two will be

considered here (i) ‘capture’ of cpDNA types; and (ii) lineage sorting or deep coalescence.
Hybridization leads to ‘chloroplast capture’ events (Arnold, 1 997). However, there are no known hybrids between subgenera Acacia and Aculeaamm, although species from each subgenus are sympatric across Central America, Africa and Asia (Ross, 1981). Hybrids are known, but these are limited to species within subgenera (New, 1984), e.g. A. xlaeta R. Br. ex Benth., a hybrid between A. mellijk-a and A. Senegal (El Amin, 1976) in subgenus Acuhzmm; and in subgenus P&llodineae, A. mangium Wdd. x A. auricul$onnis A.Cunn ex Benth. (Mash & McDonald, 1996). Thus it is unlikely that the cpDNAs of subgenera Acacia and Acul&mm are similar through hybridization.
Similar problems are identified when lineage sorting is considered. In order to reconcile the positions of subgenera Acacia and Aculea$imm in the cpDNA phylogeny and in Chappill & Maslin’s (1995) phylogeny (see Fig. 3); the ‘Acacia’ cpDNA type would have to have been kept throughout the evolution of the Ingeae, and only survived in the subgenus Acacia lineage (Fig. 4). If it is assumed that there are two types of cpDNA, an Ingeae-type and an Acaciu-type, which occurred in the common ancestor of the Acacieae and Ingeae, the Ingeae type would be found in all taxa from clade A (Fig. l), whilst the Acacia-type occurs in all taxa from clades B and C. Early on in the evolutionary history of the taxa, when subgenera Phyllodineue and
PHYLOGENY OF AC4CU 209
AcuhYemm split from the rest of the taxa, both lineages retained the two cpDNA types. However, when subgenera Phyllodineae and Acuhiftemm diverged, the cpDNA types were ‘sorted’; subgenus Phyllodineae retained the Ingeae-type and subgenus Aculeiferum retained the Acacia-type. In the genera of the Ingeae, Acacia-type cpDNA is lost, and the Ingeae-type is retained. Only in subgenus Acacia is the Acacia-type cpDNA retained. However, the time over which the two cpDNA types have been retained, and the selective sorting in which only subgenera Acacia and Acuh?emm have retained the Acacia-type cpDNA, suggests that lineage sorting is an improbable factor in the discordance between the morphological and cpDNA data.
In order to reconcile the discordances between the cpDNA and the morphological data an additional independent data set should be examined, e.g. sequence analysis of the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (Baldwin et al., 1992).
Relationsh@s within the Ihgeae
No conclusions can be drawn regarding the relationships of members of the Ingeae to each other as not enough taxa were studied. Within the Ingeae the relationships of the few taxa that were studied are again in contrast to the relationships of these taxa in the cladogram of Chappill & Maslin (1995; Fig. 3). Comparison with Grimes (1 995) is difficult as the taxa that are in common to both investigations form an unresolved polytomy (see fig. l a in Grimes, 1995). The only conflict at present between the data sets is the placement of the Acacieae taxa. Grimes (1995) did not look at the African taxa of Albiziz; the cpDNA phylogeny suggests they are related to the Samanea Merr. alliance within the Ingeae.
TAXONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE cpDNA DATA
The cpDNA data have implications for the classification of the Tribes Acacieae and Ingeae. The tribe Acacieae as circumscribed by Vassal (1 98 1) is not monophyletic, which supports the conclusion of Chappill & Masfin (1995) that the boundaries between the Ingeae and Acacieae must be reassessed. Furthermore, the cpDNA data indicates that the genus Acacia, as currently circumscribed, is polyphyletic.
The tribe Acacieae comprises the genus Acacia and the monotypic genus Faidhbia, whilst the genus Acacia is divided into three subgenera, Acacia, Acula$mm and Phyllodineae. The cpDNA data do not support this classification; subgenera Acacia and Acuh@mm are sister taxa, whilst subgenus Phyllodineae is sister to the tribe Ingeae.
The cpDNA data indicate that: (i) subgenus Phyllodineae and the genus Faidherbia could be transferred to the Ingeae; and (ii) tribe Acacieae should be reduced to comprise only the genus Acacia with two subgenera, Acacia and Acuhiemm.
Subgenus Phyllodineae, if transferred to the Ingeae, would need a new generic name. Pedley (1986), suggested Racospaa, but Maslin (1988) questioned the validity of this name, since Racospenna may not be linked to a validly published description. Faidherbiz, has been considered to be part of the tribe Acacieae, but is more closely related to the tribe Ingeae on the basis of the cpDNA data; this realignment of the genus has been suggested by Guinet (1990) on the basis of pollen data.
210 J. ROBINSON AND S. A. HARRIS
The tribe Acacieae may contain only the genus Acacia with two subgenera, Acacia and Acuhamm. The cpDNA data support a monophyletic subgenus Acacia, but the support for a monophyletic Acuhzmm is not as strong. Thus until there is a compelling need to split Acacia into two genera, it is better to maintain two subgenera, Acacia and Acuh$imm.
Chappill & Maslin (1995) suggested that the generic name Acacia should be restricted and be applied to what is at present subgenus Phyllodimue on pragmatic grounds and that this was the preferred solution of Bentham (1840). This would mean re-typifiing the name Acacai on a taxon in subgenus Phyllodimae. The cpDNA data suggest that this would be imprudent. The present work suggests that subgenera Acacia and Acuhzmm are sister taxa, corresponding to the tribe Acacieae. Subgenus Phyllodineue, on the other hand, appears to be within the Ingeae, rather than the Acacieae and should not be considered for the name Acacia.
CONCLUSIONS
If the cpDNA phylogeny presented here is an accurate representation of the species phylogeny then major reassessments of the morphological characters within the Tribes Acacieae and Ingeae, and associated nomenclatural changes, are needed. Chappill & Maslin (1 995) and Grimes (1 995), both using morphological characters, produced very different classifications. Guinet & Vassal (1978: 509) commented that “taxonomic limits are frequently obscured by continuous variation of characters . . ., levels of specialization in different characters may be very unequal in any taxon. The relationships then overlap to a greater or lesser degree and limits become difficult to establish”, and this is perhaps the greatest difficulty in classifjling the Ingeae and Acacieae.
Should further studies suggest that the cpDNA data are an accurate representation of the species tree, this has important implications for the way morphological characters are perceived in this group. If, however, the opposite is true and morphological studies are a more accurate representation of the species tree, then this is potentially an interesting example of hybridization and lineage sorting and the effects these two phenomena have on the evolution of a widespread tropical tree genus.

i Restriction site changes are unpolarized. An arbitrary choice was made to assign 1 (present) to the group with the least taxa.
“The numbering of the taxa follows that in Table 2. Taxa numbers 1-32 are subgenus Acacia, 33-53 subgenus AculcJfmrm (50-53 section Filicineae); 54-59 subgenus phyllodincac; 60 Faidhcrbia albida; 6 1 4 7 tribe Ingeae taxa and 68 Rptadenia viridflora.
UiA restriction site change has occurred outside the area revealed by the mung bean probes. However, the original fragment has overlapped with a m u g bean probe, and so it was possible to hypothesize that a change in size of this fragment was due to a restriction site change outside the area revealed by the probe.
‘A Lf fragment indicates a large fragment whose size could not be accurately determined, usually greater than 15 kb.
