The internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) of nuclear ribosomal DNA have been sequenced for 20 species ofGentiana.By incorporating previously released sequence data of eight species, phylogenelic analyses using Fitch parsimony and character‐state weighted parsimony were carried out. The length of ITS 1 in the taxa surveyed ranged from 223 to 238 bp and ITS2 from 216 to 234 bp. Sequence divergence between pairs of species ranged from 5.0% to 48.9% in ITS1, from 1.1% to 45.3% in ITS2, and from 3.2% to 46.1% in combined data of ITS1 and ITS2. The ITS phylogeny was generally congruent with morphological classifications except thatG. asclepiadeawas revealed to be closely related to sectionGentianainstead of sectionPneumonantheand sectionStenogynewas shown to be a paraphyletic group of the genusGentianathat would be better excluded from the genus. A divergence among the three European endemic sections and the remaining sections of the genus other than sectionStenogynewas revealed. Thus the European species of the genus together do not form a monophyletic group. A close relationship between the sectionsChondrophyllaes. l. (including sectionDolichocarpa),CruciataandPneumonanthewas suggested. The sectionFrigidaes. l. (including sectionsMonopodiae, Isomeria, Microsperma, andPhyllocalyx) contained two well‐supported clades: sectionFrigidaes. str. and all others together. The monophyly of the typically dysploid group sectionChondrophyllaes. l. was confirmed. Optimization of chromosome numbers on the ITS phylogeny suggested that 2/1 = 26 is a plesiomorphic state for the clade comprising sectionsFrigidaes. l.,Cruciata, Pneumonanthe, andChondrophyllaes. l., and probably 2n= 20 is a plesiomorphic state for the dysploid group, sectionChondrophyllaes. l.
