In the present study, we used genetic data and ecological niche modelling to explore possible historical introgressions among the species ofRodgersia(Saxifragaceae) in central-southwest China. Markedly differentiated chloroplast haplotypes were found inR. aesculifolia,R. sambucifoliaand the Lijiang (LJ) population ofR. pinnata, respectively, and differentiated chloroplast haplotypes within each of them showed the closest relationships with haplotypes from different species. ITS cloning did not reveal any shared ribotype betweenR. aesculifoliaand the remaining species. Historical introgression betweenR. aesculifoliaandR. sambucifolia(orR. pinnata) seems to be the most plausible explanation according to the geographical pattern and derivative status of putative introgressed chloroplast haplotypes, and also from morphological evidence. Introgressions were also found amongR. sambucifolia,R. pinnata, andR. henriciifrom Yunnan. Frequent gene exchanges may have promoted the diversity of leaf shapes in this genus. Ecological niche modelling indicated that past secondary contact following range shifts during Pleistocene cold periods may have provided opportunities for ancient introgression betweenR. aesculifoliaand adjacent species.
