1. Gentianales - trnL intron

Data: aligned trnL intron sequences from Gentianales; Apocynaceae (incl. Asclepiadaceae), Gelsemiaceae, Gentianaceae, Loganiaceae (incl. Geniostomaceae), Rubiaceae, Saccifoliaceae, and Strychnaceae (incl. Antoniaceae), and some outgroups outside Gentianales. For GENBANK accession numbers see Struwe et al. (2002). Gaps are indicated with "-"; "?" indicates missing data.  First four letters of taxon name indicates genus, next four species name.

Matrix type: Parsimony jackknife format (Xac), text-only.

4. Symbolanthus and Wurdackanthus (Helieae: Gentianaceae): 5S-NTS

Data: aligned 5S-non transcribed spacer (5S-NTS) sequences from Symbolanthus and Wurdackanthus, with Chelonanthus as outgroup. For GENBANK accession numbers, see Gould & Struwe (2004), and these are also listed after each taxon name in the matrix. Abbreviations before Genbank numbers are our DNA extraction names. Gaps are indicated with "-"; "?" indicates missing data.
