Abstract
The Philippine Marsdenieae (Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae) comprises a total of seven genera including the imperfectly known Clemensiella Schltr. Due to its unique morphology, the position of the small genus in the tribe Marsdenieae of Asclepiadoideae was previously in question. In this first molecular study of Clemensiella , the internal transcribed spacer (ITS, nrDNA) region of three isolates were newly generated and analyzed together with previous published sequences. The present aims to assess the phylogenetic positon, monophyly and closely-related genera of Clememsiella . The three Clemensiella isolates yielded a total of 630 to 642 base pairs (bp) and the average GC content ranged from 63.21% to 63.86%. Based on the strict consensus tree, the monophyly of Clemensiella is highly supported with BS = 100% and nested within the tribe Marsdenieae with BS = 61%. This study confirms the phylogenetic position of Clemensiella in Marsdenieae and its close relation to Dischidia and Hoya . Although the three Marsdenieae are distinct in their seed structures, they share common features in habit, inflorescence and corolla aestivation.

期刊介绍:
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
