Cover illustration: Cyrtandromoea and Wightia are two enigmatic genera with their familial placements once unresolved in the order Lamiales. Evidence shows that they should be placed in the LMPO clade (comprising Lamiaceae, Mazaceae, Phrymaceae, Paulowniaceae, and Orobanchaceae) based on a large-scale phylogenetic reconstruction of Lamiales. Further phylogenetic analyses of the LMPO clade using six chloroplast markers and two nuclear ribosomal regions, respectively, reveal that Cyrtandromoea is consistently nested within Phrymaceae, while Wightia is supported as sister to Phrymaceae by cpDNA dataset or to Paulowniaceae by nrDNA dataset. Based on these results, as well as comprehensive investigation of morphological and anatomical characters, an updated tribal classifi cation for Phrymaceae is carried out, and a new family, Wightiaceae Bo Li, Bing Liu, Su Liu & Y. H. Tan, fam. nov., is proposed. Photographs by B. Liu, B. Li, Y. H. Tan, N. Joshee and R. B. Zhu. Designed by B. Li. See Liu et al., pp. 1–17 in this issue. [Detail] ...
