The genusChamaecypariscomprises five species and one variety native to Taiwan, Japan, Canada, and USA, which demonstrates a classical eastern Asian, western North American, and eastern North American disjunct distributional pattern. The phylogenetic relationships of the species ofChamaecypariswere inferred by comparing 1130 bp of the combined data set of chloroplasttrnV intron andpetG-trnP intergenic spacer. The phylogenetic tree shows thatChamaecyparis nootkatensis(Cupressus nootkatensisorXanthocyparis nootkatensis) is clearly diverged from otherChamaecyparisspecies. ForChamaecyparisspecies,C. thyoidesis sister toC. formosensisandC. pisiferaand these together form a monophyletic group.C. lawsonianais sister toC. obtusaandC. taiwanensis; and these form another monophyletic group. Homogeneity in evolutionary rates was found among species in these two monophyletic groups. Results indicate the divergent evolution ofC. taiwanensisandC. formosensisand molecular evidence in this investigation supportsC. taiwanensisas a variety ofC. obtusa. Utility of cpDNA intergenic spacerpetG-trnP inChamaecyparisis also discussed. Several biogeographical implications were inferred: (1) at least two divergence events have produced the eastern Asian, and both western and eastern North American disjunct distribution inChamaecyparis; (2) intercontinental sister species pairs are found inChamaecyparis; (3) cpDNA divergence between two intercontinental sister pairs ofC. thyoidesandC. pisifera,andC. lawsonianaandC. obtusais 2.8% and 1.1%, which suggest an estimated divergence time of 14 and 5.5 million years ago during middle and late Miocene, respectively; (4) cpDNA divergence of two AsianChamaecyparisgroups betweenC. obtusaandC. taiwanensis, and betweenC. pisiferaandC. formosensisis 0.25% and 0.57%, which suggest an estimated divergence time of 1.3 and 2.9 million years ago during Pleistocene and late Pliocene, respectively; these estimated divergence times suggest a relatively recent migration ofChamaecyparisto Taiwan from the Japanese Archipelago; (5) that climatic deterioration caused the disappearance ofChamaecyparisin continental Asia is probable.
