Cover illustration: Phylogenetic relationships in Dipsacales have long been controversial. In particular, the uncertain systematic positions of Heptacodium Rehder, Triplostegia Wall. ex DC., and Zabelia (Rehder) Makino impede our understanding of Dipsacales evolution. Based on the data sets using complete plastome sequences, two primary clades were recovered that form the phylogenetic backbone of Dipsacales. Seven subclades correspond to the recognized families Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae s. str., Diervillaceae, Dipsacaceae, Linnaeaceae, Morinaceae, Valerianaceae, and one corresponds to the genus Zabelia. The latter was found to be the closest relative of Morinaceae. Additionally, this study demonstrates that Heptacodium and Triplostegia are members of Caprifoliaceae s. str. and Dipsacaceae, respectively. Photographs by X.X. Zhu, S. Landrein, C.L. Xiang and H.J.
