Abstract

The genus Lecanactis, with 24 species, has been phylogenetically analysed using cladistic parsimony methods and support tests. Morphological, anatomical and chemical data were used, comprising 38 characters. Twelve equally most parsimonious trees were obtained. The successive approximations character weighting method gave one most parsimonious tree. The ingroup, Lecanactis, is supported as monophyletic. Although parsimony jackknifing and Bremer support indicate that the trees are poorly supported, some groups are wholly or partly distinguished in both the strict consensus tree, the successive weighting tree and the Jac tree.
