RFLPs of cpDNA were examined for 18 species of Aster, six species of Kalimeris, two species of Miyamayomena and one species and one variety of Heteropappus from Japan, using 16 restriction endonucleases, Approximately 275 restriction sites were surveyed, and a total of 74 restriction site mutations was detected, and 31 of these were phylogenetically informative. Sixteen most parsimonious trees constructed from Wagner parsimony analysis indicated the polyphyly of Kalimeris and Miyamayomena sensu Kitamura; K. miqueliana belongs to a different clade from the remaining species of Kalimeris, and two species of Miyamayomena did not make a single clads. This result suggests that the shortening or loss of pappus have happened parallelly in different evolutionary lineages. We must be careful to assess the pappus character in taxonomy and phylogeny, and it is desirable to examine their phylogenetic relationships using a molecular data.
