PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Major relationships within Lamiidae, an asterid clade with ∼40000 species, have largely eluded resolution despite two decades of intensive study. The phylogenetic positions of Ic
We produced sequences for two chloroplast and five single-copy nuclear markers, using both Roche 454 ngs and standard sanger sequencing. Those genome regions were sequenced in 54 samples belonging to
We reconstructed the backbone phylogeny of Lamioideae using 80 plastid-encoded protein genes (dataset CP80), with plastomes from two individuals of M. sagittatum, 12 species of Phlomoides Moench, one
