Taxonomic status of Orophea yunnanensis (Annonaceae), an endemic plant species in Yunnan, China
Abstract
This study elucidates the taxonomic affinity of Orophea yunnanensis by considering whether it belongs to Orophea or Alphonsea. Integrating comparative morphological analysis of type and living materials, field investigations, and molecular phylogenetic evidence, we confirm that O. yunnanensis should be transferred to Alphonsea as a distinct species. A new combination Alphonsea yunnanensis (P.T.Li) Y.H.Tan & Bin Yang is proposed. The mature floral morphology and fruits of A. yunnanensis are described for the first time based on wild-collected living specimens and recent herbarium collections. Detailed descriptions, color plates, and geographical distribution, and conservation assessments are provided.

Key words: Alphonsea, Annonaceae, conservation status, molecular phylogeny, new combination, taxonomy Introduction Orophea Blume (1825) and Alphonsea Hook.f. & Thomson (1855) belong to tribe Miliuseae in subfamily Malmeoideae (Chatrou et al. 2012, 2018; Nge et al. 2024). Orophea comprises about 62 species distributed from the Indian subcontinent through mainland Asia to Southeast Asian islands (Kessler 1988, POWO 2025), with four species recorded in China (Li and Gilbert 2011). It is characterized by the presence of dissimilar petal whorls, its outer petals usually smaller than the inner one, and the inner one being clawed towards the base and generally connivent at anthesis. There is a reduction in number of stamens and carpels per flower and loosely imbricate stamens with a minute connective prolongation not covering the thecae (miliusoid stamens) (Damthongdee et al. 2021, 2024). Alphonsea comprises 38 species of shrubs or trees, distributed in wet tropical lowland forests across south and south-east Asia, in India, Sri Academic editor: Andrés E.

This genus is easily recognizable by its flower structure, having petals with a saccate base and reflexed apex at anthesis, miliusoid stamens, and multi-seeded monocarps (Kessler 1996; Mols et al. 2004). Seven species have been recorded from China (Li and Gilbert 2011; Xue et al. 2017; Ding et al. 2023; POWO 2025). Orophea yunnanensis P.T.Li (Li 1976) was described based on a bud-stage flowering specimen (F. C. How 74518, IBSC) (Fig. 1A, B) collected from Jiangchuan County (now Chengjiang City), central Yunnan Province, southwest China. It remained unrecorded for 76 years after its initial discovery at the type locality in 1940 until its rediscovery in 2016 (Ren et al. 2016). Based on the protologues, the petals of the outer and inner whorls are nearly equal in length, or the inner whorls are slightly shorter, and there are about 12 stamens, the apex of the connective is acute. It is clearly a species with miliusoid stamens. Kessler (1988, 1996) suggested this species might belong to Alphonsea rather than Orophea during the revision of Orophea and Alphonsea. On the taxonomy of Annonaceae in China, Hou (2003) tentatively assigned it to Alphonsea in his PhD thesis but did not validate the name. In order to clarify the taxonomic position, we conducted multiple field surveys at the type locality and collected the flowering and fruiting materials of Orophea yunnanensis (Fig. 1C, D). After comparing specimens we collected, we found that the leaf blades and flower buds match the type specimens of O. yunnanensis very well. Moreover, based on the flowering and fruiting materials, this species should be a member of the genus Alphonsea. In order to confirm the generic placement of this species and further elucidate its relationships with other species, a detailed comparison of vegetative morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses was conducted in this study. Material and methods In this study, measurements and morphological character assessments of Orophea yunnanensis and its closely related species were carried out on protologues and previous descriptions (Li 1976; Hou 2003; Li and Gilbert 2011), and our observations on living plants in the field and on herbarium specimens. The general morphological terminology follows Beentje (2016). The specimens deposited in the herbaria A, HITBC, IBK, IBSC, K, KUN, L, NY, P, PE, and US were checked by physical inspection or utilizing high-resolution digital images on the Chinese Virtual Herbarium (https://www.cvh.ac.cn/), GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/) and queried from the respective herbarium websites. The herbarium code is according to the Index Herbariorum (https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/). To investigate the phylogenetic position of Orophea yunnanensis and the interspecific relationship with closely related species, a total of 22 genera, comprising 88% of the genera within the tribe Miliuseae, along with the genus Dendrokingstonia from the tribe Dendrokingstonieae (Chatrou et al. 2012), were included in the phylogenetic analyses based on six plastid regions (matK, ndhF, psbA-trnH, rbcL, trnL-trnF and ycf1). Two Dendrokingstonia species were chosen as outgroup, according to comprehensive phylogenetic studies of the family (Chaowasku et al. 2014; Nge et al. 2024). Extensive sampling of O. yunnanensis was conducted, with specimens and leaf materials collected from 10 different localities covering

We also include nine samples representing six Orophea taxa and 21 accessions representing ten Alphonsea taxa in the phylogenetic analysis to evaluate whether O. yunnanensis is genetically affiliated with Orophea. Sequences of 28 samples were newly generated in this study (Appendix 2). A total of 267 accessions representing 49 taxa of the tribe Miliuseae were downloaded from GenBank. The voucher information and GenBank accession numbers are provided in Appendix 1. We utilized ten samples of Orophea yunnanensis, 15 samples of Alphonsea species and three samples of Orophea species for genomic DNA extraction, library construction, and Illumina NovaSeq sequencing through the PersonalBio company (Shanghai, China). The chloroplast genomes were assembled with GetOrganelle v1.7.6.1 (Jin et al. 2020) using default settings and automatically annotated by PGA (Qu et al. 2019) using Alphonsea hainanensis (NC_070234.1) as a reference. The resulting sequences of 28 plastomes have been deposited in the GenBase (Bu et al. 2024) in National Genomics Data Center (CNCB-NGDC Members and Partners 2025), Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences/China National Center for Bioinformation, under accession number C_AA122710.1 to C_AA122737.1 that is publicly accessible at https://ngdc. cncb.ac.cn/genbase. Six plastid regions were extracted from the 29 chloroplast genomes using the script get_annotated_regions_from_gb.py (Zhang et al. 2020) and aligned with MAFFT v.7.450 (Katoh and Standley 2013). These regions of all 40 samples were concatenated into one data matrix. The data matrix underlying phylogenetic analysis has been submitted to the Science Data Bank (Yang et al. 2025). Using jModelTest v2.1.10 (Darriba et al. 2012), we assessed the best-fitting model for the concatenated dataset based on the corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc). We conducted the maximum likelihood analysis (ML) under the GTRGAMMA model with RAxML v8.2.12 (Stamatakis 2014). Bayesian inference (BI) was performed with MrBayes v3.2.7 (Ronquist et al. 2012) under the most suitable substitution model selected. Four Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) chains with two independent runs were run for 107 generations, sampling one tree every 1,000 generations. A 50% majority-rule consensus tree was derived after discarding the first 25% trees. The convergence of the two runs was estimated with the average standard deviation of split frequencies < 0.01 and effective sample size (ESS) values > 200 using Tracer 1.6 (Rambaut et al. 2014). Phylogenetic trees were visualized and annotated with FigTree v1.4.3 (Rambaut 2012). Results and discussion The aligned matrix for the combined plastid dataset was 6864 bp in length and possessed 727 parsimony-informative sites with gaps treated as missing data. Phylogenetic analysis showed that ten Alphonsea species and ten samples of Orophea yunnanensis clustered into a strongly supported clade (Fig. 2, Clade B, PP = 1, BS = 100%). This clade was diverged into four major lineages: one Alphonsea species from Indonesia, A. ventricosa, O. yunnanensis (Fig. 2, Clade A), and the remaining eight species of Alphonsea. All the samples of Orophea yunnanensis form a well-supported clade, as indicated by high statistical values (Fig. 2, Clade A: PP = 1, BS = 100%). Although no significant morphological differences were observed among specimens collected from the ten localities (including sample YBA009 from the type locality, Chengjiang),
47 PhytoKeys 267: 43–58 (2025), DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.267.162402 Bin Yang et al.: Taxonomic status of Orophea yunnanensis pronounced genetic divergence was detected within the species, leading to the formation of two distinct subclades: Subclade I (PP = 1, BS =100%) with six samples collected from Chengjiang, Huaning, Jianshui, Mile, Nanjian, Xinping and Subclade II (PP = 1, BS = 100%) with four samples collected from Changning, Fugong, Longyang, Ning’er. Nine samples of the genus Orophea formed a monophyletic group with robust statistical support (Fig. 2, Clade C: PP = 1, BS =100%), demonstrating a significant genetic divergence from the genus Alphonsea. Molecular evidence derived from plastid regions and Figure 2. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using maximum likelihood (ML) method and Bayesian Inference based on concatenated dataset of six plastid regions (matK, ndhF, psbA–trnH, rbcL, trnL–trnF and ycf1). Statistical support with bootstrap values (BS) ≥ 70% and posterior probabilities (PP) ≥ 0.95 is presented at each node. Asterisk (*) indicate sequence newly generated in this study.
48 PhytoKeys 267: 43–58 (2025), DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.267.162402 Bin Yang et al.: Taxonomic status of Orophea yunnanensis morphological evidence have further substantiated the placement of Orophea yunnanensis within the genus Alphonsea, rather than Orophea. According to our re-examination and comparative analysis of the type specimens, Orophea yunnanensis does not belong to Orophea, as the typical mitriform inner petals with a narrowly clawed base are absent. Additionally, the petals of both whorls are of the same length, or those of the inner whorl are shorter; this character rarely occurs in Orophea, of which the inner petals being usually longer than the outer ones, while conforming well with the known morphology of Alphonsea. Moreover, morphological observations and measurements of living plants (Fig. 3) and herbarium specimens revealed that Orophea yunnanensis shared a set of morphological characters with Alphonsea include petals with a saccate base and reflexed apex at anthesis, miliusoid stamens, and multi-seeded monocarps. Synthesizing previous hypotheses (Kessler 1988, 1996; Hou 2003) and our data, we formally transfer Orophea yunnanensis to Alphonsea as a new combination. Alphonsea yunnanensis resembles A. tsangyanensis P.T.Li (Li 1976) in having oblong leaf blade with more than 10 pairs of secondary veins, which likely led to historical misidentifications as A. tsangyanensis. However, it can be easily distinguished by smaller flowers, subglobose smooth monocarps with a rounded apex, and larger seeds (Table 1).

Flowering from January to May, and fruiting from July to September. Distribution and habitat. According to our field investigation and herbarium records, Alphonsea yunnanensis is distributed in several localities of 16 counties and cities across the Yunnan Province (Fig. 4; Chen et al. 2024). It has small trees growing in subtropical limestone evergreen-deciduous broadleaved mixed forests at 1000–1800 m elevations. As field surveys progress, additional populations are expected to be discovered in its distribution ranges. Conservation status. This species was previously assessed as critically endangered (CR) (IUCN 2004; Li and Gilbert 2011) and listed as a Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP) in Yunnan (Ren et al. 2016; Sun 2021). According to the current distribution of Alphonsea yunnanensis (Fig. 4), the extent of occurrence (EOO) for it is 95,142 km2 and the area of occupancy (AOO) is 76 km2, as calculated by Shiny-GeoCAT (Moat et al. 2023). Based on our initial field investigation, the average number of flowering and fruiting individuals in the wild populations is less than 5. Most distribution points are located on limestone hills or at the edges of river valleys, and they are vulnerable to disturbances. Based on the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2024), notably on the number of locations, mature individuals and the AOO, this species qualifies for classification as Endangered (EN, B2ab (iii, v) D).
