  abstract = {{T}he {P}aleotropical monocot family {P}andanaceae includes ca. 700 species assigned to four genera: {P}andanus (ca. 500 spp.), {F}reycinetia (ca. 200 spp.), {M}artellidendron (6 spp.) and {S}araranga (2 spp.). {T}he most speciose genus, {P}andanus, was classically subdivided into eight subgenera. {P}revious cladistic analyses revealed that several key morphological characters might have evolved independently several times, thus highlighting the need for a robust molecular phylogenetic framework to elucidate phylogenetic relationships and infrafamilial and in frageneric classification within this group. {I}n this study, three plastid {DNA} regions (mat{K}, trn{Q}-rps16, trn{L}-trn{F}) and 200 individuals (representing 134 species and 609 newly produced sequences) spanning the taxonomic and biogeographic diversity of the family are analyzed to test the monophyly at the familial and generic levels, and to infer phylogenetic relationships within the family. {P}articular emphasis is devoted to {P}andanus with the aim of recognizing key morphological characters that reflect the evolutionary history of the genus. {P}hylogenetic inferences support the monophyly of {P}andanaceae and establish {S}araranga as sister to the rest of the family, with {F}reycinetia as sister to the {P}andanus-{M}artellidendron pair. {A}lthough relationships are not well-resolved within the latter clade, three supported lineages are retrieved: (1) the {A}crostigma clade comprising taxa of {P}. subg. {A}crostigma, (2) the {M}artellidendron clade including taxa assigned to the genus {M}artellidendron and (3) the core {P}andanus clade including taxa of all other subgenera of {P}andanus. {M}orphological and biogeographic evidence supporting clade definitions are discussed in detail. {T}his study provides the first phylogenetic backbone for {P}andanaceae, which is sufficiently robust to serve as a springboard for future research into the evolutionary history of this neglected family.},
