Colobanthus(23 species) andSagina(30–33 species) together are sister toFacchinia. WhereasFacchiniais distributed in western Eurasia,Colobanthusis almost exclusively distributed in the Southern Hemisphere, andSaginais distributed in both hemispheres with the highest species diversity in western Eurasia. We examined: 1. WhetherSaginaandColobanthusare monophyletic sister genera, 2. Where the two genera originated and how many times dispersal between hemispheres occurred, and 3. Which colonization routes between hemispheres were taken. We reconstructed the phylogeny ofColobanthusandSaginausing nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and two plastid spacers (cpDNA) of altogether 158 ingroup samples of 45 species, and performed molecular dating and ancestral area reconstructions.SaginaandColobanthuswere confirmed as monophyletic sister genera. Biogeographical reconstructions based on ITS and cpDNA showed thatSaginareached the Southern Hemisphere in Australasia or in Africa. ForColobanthus, patterns were less clear and less well-supported: ITS showed Australasia as the region of entry, but cpDNA implied that the Southern Hemisphere may have been entered in America. The extant distributions and the biogeographical histories ofColobanthusandSaginashow both similarities and dissimilarities. This illustrates that biogeographical histories, even of closely related and ecologically very similar lineages, can be highly idiosyncratic.
