Abstract;Plagiochila stricta, previously known only from the Neotropics and Macaronesia, is newly found in Madagascar, Africa, thereby extending the range of Plagiochila sect. Arrectae considerably. Maximum likelihood and parsimony analyses of a nrITS sequence alignment with sequences of P. sects. Arrectae, Rutilantes and Fuscoluteae (outgroup) lead to similar trees. A nrITS sequence of Plagiochila stricta from Madagascar is placed in an unsupported monophyletic lineage with P. stricta sequences from Macaronesia, Costa Rica and Ecuador and nested in a robust clade with other representatives of Plagiochila sect. Arrectae. (author abst.)
