Rhinantheae is a tribe with fewer than 20 genera of herbaceous plants in the family Orobanchaceae.[1]
Phylogeny
[edit]The phylogeny of the genera of Rhinantheae has been explored using DNA markers.[3][4] Three assemblages can be distinguished in this tribe:
- Rhinanthus is the sister genus to Lathraea, and then to Rhynchocorys. These taxa are closely related to the core Rhinanteae.
- In the core Rhinantheae, Odontites sensu lato, including Bornmuellerantha and Bartsiella, is the sister genus to Bellardia, including Parentucellia and Bartsia canescens + B. mutica. These taxa are closely related to Hedbergia (including Bartsia decurva + B. longiflora) and Tozzia. In turn, these genera share phylogenetic affinities with Euphrasia, and then with Bartsia sensu stricto (Bartsia alpina).
- Melampyrum occupies an isolated, deep-branching position.

The median crown age of Rhinantheae was estimated to be ca. 30 Myr.[5]
