Serpentine, a chemically extreme substrate with a discontinuous distribution, supports a high proportion of endemic plant species. The evolutionary pathway of edaphic endemics in isolated areas may be of parallel origin (convergence), but this can be difficult to detect due to similar sets of phenotypic traits repeatedly selected for by the extreme conditions of serpentine environments. Testing the alternative histories of single origin vs. parallel evolution in serpentine plant populations provides insight into the ability of plants to adapt to extreme serpentine environments and to disperse between isolated serpentine areas. In this study, we focused on the herbPicris hieracioidesL. (Asteraceae), which includes early-flowering serpentine populations surrounded by later flowering, non-serpentine populations on Hokkaido Island, Japan. We performed population genetic analysis based on genome-wide SNPs markers and quantified temporal overlap of flowering times under natural conditions. Phylogeographic analysis confirmed the occurrence of two genetic groups, corresponding to the serpentine and non-serpentine races. Although the two races were found to occur in close parapatry over multiple paired soil sites, little evidence for hybridization was detected. The flowering times of the two races showed significant divergence, with flowering peaks separated by more than 1 month. Overall, this study supported the single origin of serpentinePicrispopulations, and showed the role of divergent flowering time as a strong prezygotic barrier to maintain the edaphic races over short spatial distances.
