Abstract
SummaryFeng, Y. X., Chen, Z. D., Wang, X. Q., Pan, K. Y. & Hong, D. Y.: A taxonomic revision of the Loropetalum‐Tetrathyrium complex and its systematic position in the Hamamelidoideae, based on morphology and ITS sequence data. – Taxon 48: 689‐700. 1999. – ISSN 0040‐0262.Based on analysis of morphological characters and ITS sequences, a taxonomic revision of Loropetalum and Tetrathyrium is presented. Oliver's merging of Tetrathyrium under Loropetalum is corroborated. L. subcapitatum, L. indicum, and T. simaoense are reduced to synonymy under L. chinense. E. Asian Corylopsis is sister of Loropetalum among the 12 genera of Hamamelidoideae studied, which form four monophyletic clades coextensive with three tribes and one subtribe of Endress: Corylopsideae, Loropetalinae, Fothergilleae, and Eustigmateae.
