To clarify phylogenetic relationships among JapaneseDioscoreataxa and to re-examine taxonomy based on these relationships, we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses of four plastid regions [trnK(includingmatK),rbcL,atpBandtrnL-F] and two nuclear regions (PHYCand 18S rDNA) for allDioscoreataxa from Japan and selected taxa from adjacent regions. Although species are often sympatric and variation in leaf shape is relatively wide within species and not clearly demarcated between species, our results suggest that JapaneseDioscoreaspp. do not hybridize. Our results also resolve several taxonomic issues surrounding Japanese species. We confirm thatD. japonica,D. polystachya,D. pseudojaponicaandD. tabatae, which are morphologically similar, are distinct species. Further, plants from the Daito Islands identified asD. luzonensis, which have never been observed to flower to our knowledge, are attributable toD. pseudojaponica.Dioscorea zentaroana, often treated as a synonym ofD. asclepiadea, was found to be distinct from the latter.Dioscorea izuensisshould be treated asD. collettiivar.izuensis. In conclusion, 16 species and three varieties of nativeDioscoreashould be recognized in Japan.
