Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction site variation among 24 of 27 extant species of the Hawaiian silversword alliance (Argyroxiphium, Dubautia, Wilkesia) was studied to enhance understanding of phylogenetic pattterns and evolutionary processes in this outstanding example of insular adaptive radiation. Analysis with 16 restriction endonucleases revealed a total of 55 restriction site differences, 36 being shared by a subset of at least two taxa. In pairwise comparisons among these taxa, cpDNA divergence ranged from 0 to 0.46% of nucleotides. Chloroplast DNA divergence within Dubautia exceeded that of all intergeneric comparisons. A strict consensus tree from Wanger parsimony analyses of this variation was topologically congruent with evolutionary resolutions from Dollo parsimony and the Fitch-Margoliash genetic distance algorithm. Conflict between these outcomes and results from a phenetic analysis suggest a cpDNA molecular clock is not operating among these taxa. The cpDNA consensus phylogeny indicates monophylesis of the silversword alliance, in accord with biosystematic and cytogenetic evidence. These data further suggest: (1) rapid radiation of lineages early in the history of the silversword alliance; (2) few successful interisland migrations that led to new species lineages; (3) a unidirectional, older-to-younger island pattern of migration within the n = 13 Dubautia group; (4) striking inconsistency between relative rates of morphological and cpDNA evolution among Wilkesia and five Kauaian Dubautia species; and (5) hybrid speciation or extensive introgression among certain Argyroxiphium and Dubautia taxa. These phylogenetic conclusions require testing with molecular analyses of nuclear DNA to clarify the extent to which hybridization has influenced the evolution of this reproductively and genetically cohesive group of plants.
