HIDAYAT,  TOPIK; YUKAWA,  TOMOHISA; ITO, MOTOMI.  2006. Evolutionary analysis of  pollinaria <br />morphology of subtribe Aeridinae (Orchidaceae). Reinwardtia 12(3): 223–235. –– Pollinarium is one of the distinct <br />synapomorphies of Orchidaceae. With using characters  derived from the  pollinarium,  phylogenetic relationships <br />among  genera of subtribe  Aeridinae was examined. Cladistic analysis showed that (1) Subtribe  Aeridinae is <br />monophyletic group. (2) Five of six groups constructed in the analysis are consistent with the groups recognized in <br />previous molecular  phylogenetic analyses.  (3) The  genera Cleisostoma and  Phalaenopsis are  non-monophyletic <br />group. (4) Pollinarium morphology endorses monophyly  Trichoglottis  and Phalaenopsis alliances.  (5) Although <br />transformation of the stipe and viscidium shapes in the subtribe is subjected to parallelism, the results showed that <br />these characters are much useful in determining relationships in the subtribe than those of pollinium.
