Abstract

The genus_Crepidiastrum_ is distributed in East Asia and includes 7 species. In the Bonin Islands, three species of_Crepidiastrum_ occur, and all of them are endemic to the islands. For detecting the origin and speciation of these endemic species, electrophoretic studies have been done in three endemic species of the Bonin Islands as well as in the remaining four species of_Crepidiastrum_, and_Youngia denticulata_ which is considered to be closely related to_Crepidiastrum_.

A total of 386 individuals were sampled from 14 populations. As a result, 17 loci of 10 enzyme systems were resolved and gene frequencies for each population were calculated. The genetic variability was low in island species, as reported in some oceanic island plants. Four groups were recognized in the dendrogram generated by the UPGMA method. The Bonin endemics were clustered together, suggesting a monophyletic origin.C. ameristophyllum and_C. linguaefolium_ were found to be genetically very similar, and this may suggest recent and rapid speciation within the islands.
