Compared with single gene analysis, multi‐locus sequence data usually perform better in resolving phylogenetic relationships of closely related species.Sonneratia(Lythraceae s.l.), a genus of mangroves, is widely distributed in the Indo‐West Pacific region.Sonneratia griffithiiKurz is one of the rarest species of this genus and morphological analyses have produced conflicting results regarding its affinity to other species ofSonneratia. In this study, we aimed to resolve the phylogenetic position ofS. griffithiiby using sequence data of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and 13 nuclear genes. We first reconstructed the phylogeny of fiveSonneratiaspecies using nrITS and the nuclear generpl9, which showed thatS. caseolaris(L.) Engl. diverged first from the other species and thatS. griffithiiwas closer toS. apetalaBuch.‐Ham. andS. ovataBacker; however, the relationships amongS. griffithii,S. apetala, andS. ovatacould not be resolved. Further phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of nrITS and 13 nuclear genes and usingS. caseolarisas an outgroup showed thatS. griffithiiandS. apetalawere sister species with high bootstrap support. We conclude thatS. griffithiiandS. apetalahave the closest relationships. Furthermore, our phylogenetic analyses do not support previous intrageneric classifications ofSonneratia.
