Abstract

In this study, we present an overall phylogenetic framework for Dianthus using four plastid regions (matK-trnK-psbA, rpl32-trnL, trnQ-rps16) and nuclear ITS and a species-level checklist for the genus developed by using all available databases and the literature. The trees from the plastid dataset depict a clade of Dianthus that also includes Velezia and a few taxa of Petrorhagia. New combinations in Dianthus are provided for these species. The checklist of Dianthus in this new delimitation covers 1781 names, with 384 accepted species, 150 subspecies, 12 heterotypic varieties and two forms (not counting autonyms), 1050 synonyms, 22 hybrid names and 172 unresolved names, 3 names were excluded. Implications for the evolution of flower characters, life forms, biogeography, as well as sectional classification are discussed based on the phylogenetic framework.

Introduction

The genus Dianthus L. (pinks and carnations) is after Silene L. the second largest genus in the family Caryophyllaceae. It it was considered to contain approximately 300 species mainly distributed in the northern hemisphere, with many range-restricted or narrow-endemic species in the Mediterranean area, SW Asia, the Caucasus and the Irano-Turanian region, and with some species occurring in eastern and southern Africa (Bittrich 1993). Dianthus is a genus with many taxonomically complex species groups, which is perhaps the reason that no comprehensive treatment of the whole genus exists. Valente et al. (2010) reported Dianthus to be one of the lineages with the highest species diversification rates in flowering plants, which may explain the evolution of numerous narrow-endemic taxa and render Dianthus an interesting model for understanding the evolution of north-temperate floras.

Dianthus consists of mostly perennial and a few annual or biennial herbs or shrubs with oblong to ovate or linear and grass-like leaves. According to the widely used circumscription of Pax and Hoffmann (1934), the genus is characterised by hermaphrodite flowers appearing solitary or in more or less dense terminal cymes. The flowers are subtended by 2 to many epicalyx scales and possess a 5-toothed, tubular calyx with 20–60 well-marked parallel nerves. The inclusion of several species formerly classified as Petrorhagia (Ser.) Link and Velezia L. as suggested by Madhani et al. (2018) adds taxa with fewer (5–15) nerves [D.candicus (P.W.Ball & Heywood) Madhani & Heubl., D.nudiflorus Griff., D.recticaulis Ledeb., and D.tunicoides (Ser. ex DC.) Madhani & Heubl). Similarly, the calyx in three of these taxa possesses scarious commissures (D.candicus, D.recticaulis, D.tunicoides) whereas these are missing in Dianthus s. str., e.g. as circumscribed by Bittrich (1993), and in Velezia. The corolla consists of five distinct petals, with distinct blade and claw. Contrary to the long and pale claw, the limb is brightly coloured (red/pink/purple, yellow) in most species, rarely white. The limb is entire, dentate to laciniate, fimbriate, and without coronal scales. Peltate seeds with a facial hilum and a straight embryo are a characteristic feature of Dianthus including Veleziarigida L. and apparently all species of Petrorhagia (Madhani et al. 2018).

The first infrageneric classification of Dianthus was published by Boissier (1867), who recognised six sections, or “sections naturales”; the names he used are considered unranked (Rabeler 1993): D. § 5. Carthusiani Boiss., D. § 4. Dentati Boiss., D. § 3. Fimbriati Boiss., D. § 2. Leiopetali Boiss. and D. § 1. Verruculosi Boiss., but this classification was based only on species occurring in the area of his Flora Orientalis. Williams (1893) developed a more comprehensive infrageneric classification system, but apparently did not consider Boissier’s work. Williams described the morphology of the genus in detail and recognised three subgenera with eight sections and 22 subsections in total. The most widely used classification until today is the one of Pax and Hoffmann (1934), who recognised seven sections. An overview of the taxonomic history of Dianthus is given in Table 1.

The first overall molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Caryophyllaceae (Fior et al. 2006) included D.furcatus Balb. and Dianthusseguieri Vill. and showed Veleziarigida L. as sister to a Dianthus clade. Harbaugh et al. (2010) added D.armeria L. and an unidentified species of Dianthus, but found Velezia within the Dianthus clade that in turn was sister to Petrorhagiasaxifraga (L.) Link. After including more species in their plastid and ITS datasets, Valente et al. (2010) concluded that Dianthus is monophyletic if Velezia is also included. However, this conclusion was premature with respect to Petrorhagia since Valente et al. represented this genus of > 30 species with only two species (P.thessala (Boiss.) P.W.Ball & Heywood and P.prolifera (L.) P.W.Ball & Heywood) as outgroup, not even including P.saxifraga (L.) Link, the type of Petrorhagia. Greenberg and Donoghue (2011) then largely confirmed these findings using five chloroplast regions (matK, ndhF, trnL-trnF, trnQ-rps16, trnS-trnfM) and nrITS, although their tree lacked crucial lineages within Dianthus.

In a recent synopsis of the genera of the tribe Caryophylleae, Madhani et al. (2018) formally extended the circumscription of Dianthus by three species of Petrorhagia and Veleziarigida, based on trees of plastid rps16 and nrITS sequences and mapping of selected morphological characters. They recovered P.armerioides (Ser. ex DC.) P.W.Ball & Heywood as sister to V.rigida based on ITS but the support for a position of this lineage within Dianthus was weak (0.77 PP), and only six species of Dianthus were sampled, again lacking crucial lineages. Their rps16 tree shows Petrorhagiaalpina (Hablitz) P.W.Ball & Heywood, P.armerioides, and P.candica P.W.Ball & Heywood in a subclade that is nested in a Dianthus clade. However, only Dianthuscarthusianorum L. (only supported by BI, 0.98 PP) and D.armeria were included and resolved as successive sisters, whereas Velezia was not sampled at all. Moreover, the fact that the authors used different taxa in their plastid and nuclear datasets, some of them crucial for determining generic concepts but represented in only one of the datasets, further limits firm conclusions. The wider circumscription of Dianthus proposed by Madhani et al. (2018) is not supported by a morphological synapomorphy because the peltate seeds and straight embryos mentioned therein as important characters for diagnosing Dianthus are also found in Petrorhagia. The circumscription of Dianthus in particular with respect to Petrorhagia therefore remains to be clarified by analyses with an improved taxon sampling of both genera and also an increased character base that allows for better resolved trees and statistical support of relevant nodes. These investigations should also consider the Greek and Levant taxa of Bolanthus (Ser.) Rchb.. The genus was found closely related to Dianthus and Petrorhagia based on ITS and rps16 (Zografidis et al. 2020), which includes Bolanthushirsutus (Labill.) Barkoudah, the type of Bolanthus.

Valente et al. (2010) conducted the first comprehensive molecular analysis of Dianthus, based on partial matK, psbA-trnK, trnH-psbA and nrITS sequences from 104 species plus some representatives from Velezia, Petrorhagia and Saponaria L. Based on their trees, the authors annotated five major lineages within Dianthus. The first branching lineage largely comprised members of D.sect.Armerium F.N.Williams (e.g. D.armeria, D.deltoides L., D.viscidus Bory & Chaub.), followed by a Velezia clade (represented by three different samples of V.rigida), and a lineage called “Section Verruculosi” with D.cyri Fisch & C.A.Mey., D.strictus Banks ex Sol. and D.tripunctatus Sm. The majority of the species then appeared in a clade annotated as “Eurasian radiation” that was depicted as sister to an African clade. However, the Eurasian clade had almost no internal resolution.

Dianthus has received considerable interest from botanists in recent years, focusing on individual species groups and the description of new taxa or treatments in specific geographic areas (Balao et al. 2009; Kuzmina and Nersesyan 2012; Deniz et al. 2016; Ferrer Gallego and Laguna 2018; Oskay 2018; López-Jurado et al. 2019) and conservation (Kołodziejek et al. 2018; Cogoni et al. 2019). As a result, 54 species and 18 subspecies, mostly from the Euro-Mediterranean area, were described as new to science the last 15 years.

The absence of an overall phylogenetic tree of Dianthus as a prerequisite to break up the genus into workable units, in which species level relationships then can be studied in more detail with evolutionary methods, has so far limited the analysis of species limits in Dianthus. Also lacking is a comprehensive treatment or checklist, which would be fundamental to inform sampling and provide a basis for synthesising the existing information on Dianthus. Considering the wealth of new descriptions, we assumed that the diversity of Dianthus may in fact be considerably higher than 300 species as cited by Pax and Hoffmann (1934) and Bittrich (1993). Dianthus represents one of the major genera of the order Caryophyllales (Hernández-Ledesma et al. 2015), for which a globally consistent species-level taxonomic backbone is developed by the Caryophyllales Network, which also contributes to the treatments for World Flora Online (WFO, www.worldfloraonline.org) (Borsch et al. 2020).

As a starting point for this study, we took advantage of ongoing research activities in the context of the Caucasus Plant Biodiversity Initiative and the Flora of Greece project (http://portal.cybertaxonomy.org/flora-greece/intro), all covering geographic areas with high species diversity of the genus, and in which Dianthus is currently studied. In Greece, Dianthus is represented by 44 species and 43 subspecies, of which about half are endemic. Some of them are morphologically and geographically divergent, such as the D.juniperinus Sm. and D.fruticosus L. groups, which are woody chasmophytes occurring mostly on the island of Crete (Dimopoulos et al. 2013). In the Caucasus, about sixty species are native, of which 20 are endemic (Kuzmina and Nersesyan 2012), and five further endemics occur in NE Turkey and SW Iran.

The specific objectives for this paper are therefore twofold: first, to generate an overall phylogenetic hypothesis for Dianthus that covers a broad spectrum of taxa, also extending to putative close relatives (e.g. Petrorhagia) to further test the monophyly of Dianthus. Due to the extremely low genetic diversity encountered in Dianthus as compared to other large genera of flowering plants (e.g. Campanula), we sequenced four plastid regions (matK-trnK-psbA, rpl32-trnL, trnQ-rps16) that were selected for high variability and hierarchical phylogenetic signal (Borsch and Quandt 2009) as well as to match existing datasets of Valente et al. (2010). We added nrITS to obtain data from a nuclear region that allows for some first insights to possible hybridisation and reticulate evolution.

The second specific objective is to provide an up-to-date taxonomic backbone for Dianthus. This was done using an import that integrated all electronically available sources from the World Flora Online. In this way, an already comprehensive name source was available that we then matched with recent treatments, e.g. major Floras published in the last thirty years, accounts of specific species groups, etc., to have a clear reference for accepting a name or putting it into synonymy. The checklist of Dianthus presented here will be also incorporated into the World Flora Online taxonomic backbone and will be updated whenever changes become necessary.

Considering the difficulty in species delimitation and the species diversity of Dianthus, we believe that our integrated approach to develop both a taxonomic backbone that includes all names belonging to the genus in a current, monophyletic circumscription, along with a traceable source for the taxon concepts used at species level, will be crucial to understanding evolutionary relationships and species diversification in space and time. Such information is also urgently needed from applied perspectives such as to assess the conservation status of many Dianthus species that are local or regional endemics and/or have a critical conservation status.

Methods

Taxon sampling and collection of plant material

Plant material was collected in the field or from well-documented accessions in the living collections of the Botanic Garden Berlin, and from herbarium specimens kept at the herbaria B and ERE. Information on the origin of all samples is provided in Appendix 1. Vouchers are deposited in B, ERE, HEID and UPA.

DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing

Total genomic DNA was extracted from silica-dried leaf material using the NucleoSpin Plant II kit (Macherey Nagel, Düren, Germany) and from herbarium samples using a CTAB protocol with triple extractions (Borsch et al. 2003). DNA fragments were amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 50 µl volumes, containing 4 μl of DNA template (concentration c. 10 ng/μl), 5 μl Taq buffer S (PeqLab, Erlangen, Germany), 2 μl of each primer (20 pm/μl), 10 μl dNTPs (each 1.25 mM), 1.5 units of Hot Taq DNA Polymerase (PeqLab), and ultrapure water.

The matK-trnK-psbA region was amplified in overlapping halves using the primer pair trnK-F (Wicke and Quandt 2009) and CARYmatK-1440R (Schäferhoff et al. 2009) for the 3′ fragment and ACmatK500F (Müller and Borsch 2005), and psbA5’R (Shaw et al. 2005) for the 5′ fragment. The use of the reverse primer psbA5′R that anneals to the psbA gene allows the full sequence at the 5′ end of the trnK intron to be obtained and additionally covers the trnK-psbA intergenic spacer. Amplification conditions were: an initial denaturation step of 1 min 30 sec at 96 °C, followed by 34 cycles of denaturation (30 sec at 95 °C), annealing (1 min at 50 °C), extension (1 min 30 sec at 72 °C), and a final extension step (20 min at 72 °C).

The rpl32-trnL IGS was amplified using the primers rpl32-F and trnL-UAG (Shaw et al. 2007) and the trnQ-rps16 IGS was amplified using the primers trnQ2 (Korotkova et al. 2010) and rpl16x1 (Shaw et al. 2007). The PCR conditions were as for matK-trnK-psbA, except that the extension step was only 1 minute. ITS was amplified using the primers ITS5 and ITS4 (White et al. 1990), amplification conditions were: 35 cycles of denaturation (1 min at 97 °C), annealing (1 min at 48 °C) and extension (45 s at 72 °C), and a final extension step (7 min at 72 °C).

All PCR products were electrophoresed for 2 hours on a 2% agarose gel and then excised and purified using the Geneaid Gel/PCR DNA Fragments Extraction Kit (Geneaid Biotech Ltd., New Taipei City, Taiwan) and sequenced via standard Sanger sequencing at Macrogen Europe (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Chromatograms were inspected by eye, erroneous nucleotide calls were manually corrected, and final sequences were assembled using PhyDE v. 0.9971 (Müller et al. 2005+). All sequences were submitted to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/home under the projects PRJEB48120, PRJEB43752.

Sequence alignment, indel coding and model selection

DNA sequences were aligned in PhyDE following a motif alignment approach and the rules laid out by Löhne and Borsch (2005). Homonucleotide stretches and parts of uncertain homology were excluded from the final matrix prior to the analyses. Indels were coded according to the scheme “Simple Indel Coding” (Simmons and Ochoterena 2000) in SeqState v.1.40 (Müller 2005b).

Phylogenetic analyses

Best-fitting models of nucleotide substitution were selected via the Akaike Information Criterion in jModeltest v.2.1.6 (Darriba et al. 2012). The models that were found to best fit the given DNA sequence data are listed in Table 2. Phylogenetic reconstructions were performed via Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI). Jackknife (JK) node support was additionally calculated under parsimony in PAUP* v.4.0b10 (Swofford 1998) with 10,000 replicates, branch swapping via tree-bisection-reconnection, a deletion of 36.8% of all characters during replicates, and a retention of one tree per replicate (Müller 2005a).

Tree inference under ML was conducted on the concatenated alignment with RAxML v.8.2.9 (Stamatakis 2014) using the thorough ML optimisation option. The dataset was analysed as a single partition under the nucleotide substitution model GTR+I+G, with branch lengths linked across partitions. Branch support for the ML inference was calculated via 100 bootstrap (BS) replicates using the rapid BS algorithm (Stamatakis et al. 2008).

Bayesian Inference (BI) was conducted with MrBayes v.3.2.2 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck 2003), using four parallel Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) runs for a total of 10 million generations on CIPRES. The initial 25% of all MCMC trees were discarded as burn-in, and post-burn-in trees were summarised as majority rule consensus trees. Datasets for BI comprised both DNA sequence data and coded indels; the binary character model was applied for the indel partition. All trees were visualised via TreeGraph2 (Stöver and Müller 2010).

Compilation of the Dianthus checklist

The checklist was compiled using the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy (cybertaxonomy.org) (Ciardelli et al. 2009; Berendsohn 2010), which is a suite of open-source software tools and services that covers all aspects of an integrative taxonomic workflow and include tools to capture, process, attribute, document, publish and maintain the data. This way, the already existing interaction with the Global Caryophyllales Synthesis initiative (Borsch et al. 2015) can be used and future dynamic updating is guaranteed.

As a first step, a complete list of Dianthus names and their respective World Flora Online (WFO)-IDs were received from the WFO Data Centre in February 2018 and imported into the EDIT Platform. This import included names accepted in the WFO backbone, their synonyms therein, doubtful names, and names of hybrids, and each of these taxonomic states was preliminarily assigned to the imported names. This dataset was then matched with the World Checklist of Vascular Plants dataset received from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in December 2019 (Kew WCVP 2019), which resulted in some 181 additional, mostly infraspecific names, not yet covered by the WFO backbone, which were manually entered into the EDIT platform as well.

This preliminary list of accepted names and their synonyms was then cross-checked with relevant taxonomic treatments (see below). The resulting circumscription of each taxon is indicated by means of a “secundum” (“sec.”) reference (Berendsohn 1995; 1997; Berendsohn and Geoffroy 2007), which is the particular reference for the taxon to be accepted in our taxonomic backbone. For synonyms, the “syn. sec.” reference indicates the assignment of the synonym to the concept of either the accepted name or one of its homotypic synonyms; this may or may not be the same reference as that of the taxon’s secundum. We selected the secundum reference to be the most comprehensive source of information available for a species or subspecies. Ideally, this was a monographic treatment based on morphology and a detailed revision of type material, as carried out for some Floras. In those cases where a newly described species had not yet been included in any subsequent more inclusive treatment, the original publication served as the secundum reference. The references used as secundum for the Euro-Mediterranean area in the widest sense included the treatments of Dianthus in the Euro+Med PlantBase (Marhold 2011), Flora Iberica (Bernal et al. 1990), Vascular Plants of Greece: an annotated checklist (Dimopoulos et al. 2013) and Flora Iranica (Rechinger 1988). Several checklists and Floras were examined for Russia and the Caucasus (Czerepanov 1995; Barkalov and Probatova 2006; Chepinoga et al. 2008; Kuzmina and Nersesyan 2012). For eastern Asia, the sources were the Floras of China (Dequan and Turland 2001), Japan (Zoku 1965) and Pakistan (Ghanzafar and Nasir 1986). The African Plant Database version 3.4.0 (2012) was taken as the primary reference for the African species. These references already covered about 90% of the Dianthus species. Further publications reporting taxonomic data were used, such as descriptions of new species (Brullo et al. 2000; Shaulo and Erst 2011; Brullo et al. 2015; Son et al. 2017), nomenclatural notes on certain species or species groups (Peruzzi and Gargano 2006; Bacchetta et al. 2010) and studies on species in single countries (Iamonico 2013; Lazkov 2016). Many new Dianthus species were described from Turkey in the last 10–15 years, which were considered through the respective publications (Menemen and Hamzaoğlu 2000; İlçim et al. 2013; Hamzaoğlu et al. 2015; 2017; 2018; Deniz et al. 2016).

In the rare cases of differing taxonomic concepts, we accepted the circumscription with the respective secundum reference that was either the most recent one or the one covering the area where the accepted taxon in question is primarily distributed.

Names that were part of the WFO backbone, treated therein as unresolved names and not found in any of the sources cited above, were also treated as unresolved names in our checklist.

Results

Sequence datasets

The concatenated plastid alignment matrix comprised a total of 202 taxa and 5573 positions, which resulted in a matrix of 5297 nucleotide characters and 287 coded indels. The ITS matrix contained only 136 taxa and was 714 nucleotides in length, with an average length of 674 nucleotides. There were polymorphic sites in about one-third of the generated ITS sequences, including some obvious hybrid sequences which were not readable. For this reason, the ITS matrix only includes unambiguously readable sequences and is therefore smaller than the plastid matrix. Detailed sequence statistics are provided in Table 2.

Trees inferred from the concatenated plastid dataset

Our annotation in the phylogenetic trees uses accepted names as available prior to this study; new names or combinations in order to make Dianthus monophyletic are provided below.

The plastid tree (Fig. 1) depicts a maximally supported clade comprising all sampled Dianthus taxa as well as Velezia and several Petrorhagia, which are nested within Dianthus. Petrorhagiaalpina (= Dianthusrecticaulis Ledeb.) is resolved as sister to the rest of the Dianthus-Velezia-Petrorhagia clade. The other Petrorhagia samples are resolved in a separate highly supported clade including P.saxifraga, the type species of the genus, with Bolanthusgraecus (Schreb.) Barkoudah sister to the rest of Petrorhagia.

Support values PP (left) and MLBS (right) can be found above branches and JK below; “<50” denotes branches with MLBS support below 50%, “--” denotes a node not found by the respective analysis. Country codes: AM = Armenia, AT = Austria, AZ = Azerbaijan, BG = Bulgaria, CY = Cyprus, DE = Germany, ES = Spain, FR = France, GE = Georgia, GR = Greece (NE = North East, NC = North Central, KK = Kriti and Karpathos, StE = Sterea Ellas, NPi = Norh Pindos, EAe = East Aegean Islands, Pe = Peloponnisos), HR = Croatia, IR = Iran, IT = Italy, RO = Romania, RU = Russia, SK = Slovakia, TR = Turkey, ZA = South Africa. The annotations on the infrageneric classification based on Pax and Hoffmann (1934) are indicated by coloured squares.

A Dianthusarmeria clade (1 PP, 98% MLBS and 100% JK) is the first branching lineage. The next branching lineages are Velezia, Dianthuscandicus, and a clade comprising Dianthuscyri, D.strictus, D.tunicoides and two further species of Petrorhagia (P.cretica (L.) P.W.Ball & Heywood and P.illyrica (Ard.) P.W.Ball & Heywood). However, the branching order among these clades only receives moderate (BI) to weak support.

The core of Dianthus that includes most species (1 PP, 69% MLBS and 65% JK) is composed of three main clades. Clade A (1 PP, < 50% MLBS) contains a wide spectrum of Eurasian taxa. Clade B (1 PP, 90% MLBS and 87% JK) contains mainly Irano-Turanian and Caucasian taxa and all species from southern Africa. Clade C (1 PP, 61% MLBS and 67% JK) consists of Dianthusjuniperinus and most subspecies of D.fruticosus, but D.fruticosussubsp.amorginus Runemark, subsp. fruticosus , and subsp. rhodius (Rech. f.) Runemark are resolved in a sublineage of clade A.

Trees inferred from nrITS

The ITS topology (Fig. 2) is hardly resolved at all. Still, the tree depicts a well-resolved core of species of Petrorhagia in a clade sister to the Dianthus clade. Dianthusrecticaulis (= Petrorhagiaalpina) is again depicted as first branch, followed by the D.armeria lineage, which is congruent to the plastid tree. Dianthuscyri, the species of Velezia, Dianthustunicoides along with Petrorhagiacretica and P.illyrica are found in a weakly supported clade, inconsistent to their positions in a rather weakly supported grade in the plastid tree. Bolanthus (= Graecobolanthus) is resolved in the first branch in the tree, albeit with weak support (0.7 BI, 66% JK).

The annotations on the infrageneric classification based on Pax and Hoffmann (1934) are indicated by coloured squares.

Unlike the plastid sequences, ITS sequence data do not provide resolution within the core of Dianthus, although some subclades are evident within a broad polytomy (Fig. 2). The lineage with subspecies of D.juniperinus together with D.fruticosussubsp.sitiacus Runemark corresponds to subclade C in the plastid tree, whereas neither the D.broteri Boiss. & Reut. - D.rupicola Biv. - D.lusitanus Brot. subclade of the ITS tree nor the subclade with D.caucaseus Sims, D.gabrielianae Nersesian and D.oschtenica are recovered by plastid data. Also, the southern African species (e.g. D.mooiensis F. N. Williams, D.zeyheri Sond) appear within the core polytomy in ITS.

Accepted species names and synonyms

In total, 1781 names are included for a monophyletic genus Dianthus as defined here, including Petrorhagia p.p. and Velezia. The resulting checklist treatment is subdivided into four parts: i) the core checklist that contains the accepted species and infraspecies and their synonyms, ii) hybrid names, iii) unresolved names and iv) excluded names. The core checklist of Dianthus including 2 former Petrorhagia species and 3 heterotypic subspecies and 6 former Velezia species contains 384 total accepted species and 150 accepted heterotypic subspecies, and 1050 names are assigned as synonyms. There are 22 hybrid names, 172 unresolved names, and 3 excluded names.

Discussion

Circumscription and overall relationships of Dianthus

Plastid and nuclear data agree on a Dianthus clade that includes Velezia and further species of Petrorhagia (P.cretica, P.illyrica) as deeply nested (Figs 1, 2) that were not sampled in previous phylogenetic analyses (Valente et al. 2010; Madhani et al. 2018). It is noteworthy that Dianthusrecticaulis is resolved as sister to all other species of Dianthus in both genomic compartments with good support. It is an annual with solitary flowers on conspicuous peduncles (Ball and Heywood 1964) similar to P.cretica (Fig. 4A, B). The inflorescence architecture is apparently connected to the annual life form, which evolved independently in different terminal branches in Dianthus and allies. Dianthusrecticaulis is the legitimate name for P.alpina, while Dianthusstrictiformis that was proposed as a new name for Petrorhagiaalpina by Madhani et al. (2018) is superfluous and illegitimate (Mosyakin and Federonchuk 2018). Their plastid rpl16 tree, however, depicts this species in an incongruent position as sister to P.candica (also transferred to Dianthus by the authors), but this may be a spurious signal caused by an imbalanced sampling of Dianthus (both species appear nested within the D.armeria clade). Our phylogenetic results confirm the position of these former Petrorhagia species within Dianthus (Figs 2, 3). Nevertheless, we extended the sampling of Petrorhagia and found further species (P.cretica, P.illyrica) within Dianthus, whereas a distant clade of the members of the genus Petrorhagia (including the type P.saxifraga, and P.dianthoides (Sm.) P.W.Ball & Heywood, P.glumacea (Bory & Chaub.) P.W.Ball & Heywood, P.prolifera, P.thessala and P.dubia (Raf.) G.López & Romo) receives high support in chloroplast and ITS trees. The taxa that were found nested within Dianthus belong to the Petrorhagiasect.Pseudotunica (Fenzl) Ball & Heywood and Petrorhagiasect.Pseudogypsophila (A.Braun) P.W.Ball & Heywood, while the Petrorhagia taxa that form a distant clade belong to Petrorhagiasect.Petrorhagia and Petrorhagiasect.Kohlrauschia (Kunth) P.W.Ball & Heywood (Ball and Heywood 1964). This clade is related to Bolanthus, which is inferred as sister with high support in the plastid tree, but is depicted inconsistently in a grade with ITS (Fig. 2). Apart from our now clearer picture of relationships between Dianthus and Petrorhagia, the genus Velezia still plays a role in the monophyletic circumscription of Dianthus. Madhani et al. (2018) merged Velezia with Dianthus, following the suggestion by Valente et al. (2010), but considered only one species, V.rigida L., and resurrected the name Dianthusnudiflorus Griff. based on a type from Afghanistan. Sequence data of Velezia indicate that this former genus consists of more than one species (Fig. 2), with V.fasciculata Boiss. in a different position in the ITS tree compared to V.rigida, which is in line with the acceptance of six species in the Euro+Med PlantBase (Marhold 2011). Only V.rigida is widespread from the western Mediterranean through SW Asia and the Caucasus as well as introduced in North America, specifically in California (Rabeler and Hartmann 1993+), whereas the other species are range-restricted and occur in Greece, Turkey and Syria. Consequently, we propose to also include the remaining Velezia species in Dianthus (see Nomenclatural Novelties).

The Dianthustunicoides clade is represented by D.pachygonus (= Petrorhagiacretica), which has solitary flowers (A, B) in diffusely branched inflorescences (C). The Dianthusarmeria clade is represented by D.armeria (D), which has condensed terminal inflorescences and flowers supported by reflexed, bract-like leaves, and D.deltoides, which has lax inflorescences with solitary flowers each supported by two opposite bracts (E). The core clade of Petrorhagia is represented by P.prolifera, which has highly condensed terminal inflorescences with broadly ovate and thinly scarious bracts enclosing the flowers (F with opened inflorescence to the right).

From the predominantly Euro-Mediterranean clade A are D.sphacioticus (A) with solitary flowers enclosed basally by cauline leaves, D.integersubsp.minutiflorus (B) enclosed basally by several slightly coriaceous bracts with an outward-pointing green tip, D.stenopetalus (C) with several flowers in a condensed terminal inflorescence with many brown scales, D.critinus (D) with four decussate bracts at the base, and D.haematocalyx (E). Clade B, which includes many Caucasian and Irano-Turanian species, is represented by D.gabrielianae (F) and the predominantly Cretan clade C by D.juniperinussubsp.juniperinus (G). D.juniperinus is a densely branched, cushion-like subshrub and D.haematocalyx is a small cushion plant. Photos: N. Turland (A), K. Goula (B–D), A. Zografidis (E), A. Nersesyan (F) and G. Fassou (G).

The second branch within the Dianthus clade is composed of Dianthusarmeria (incl. D.viscidus) and relatives such as D.carthusianorum and D.deltoides, as congruently inferred by the nuclear and plastid partition and which is also consistent with trees shown by Valente et al. (2010) and Greenberg and Donoghue (2011). The respective positions of the next-branching lineages, i.e. Velezia and a lineage of Dianthusstrictus plus D.cyri, are not well supported. Again, our tree topologies agree in principle with the findings of Valente et al. (2010) and Greenberg and Donoghue (2011) but differ in that two former species of Petrorhagia as recognised by Madhani et al. (2018) belong here (P.armerioides (Ser. ex DC.) P.W.Ball & Heywood, P.candica P.W.Ball & Heywood). We show that P.cretica and P.illyrica are also part of this lineage (Fig. 2) and need to be merged with Dianthus.

Our results also agree with a core clade of Dianthus that contains the majority of the Dianthus species. Contrary to Valente et al. (2010), our results depict three major clades (clades A-C) of core Dianthus.

Clade A contains Eurasian taxa and includes the type of the genus, D.caryophyllus. Clade A also comprises three subspecies of D.fruticosus (subsp. amorginus, subsp. fruticosus and subsp. rhodius) that are apparently convergent in terms of evolving a similar life form as the members of clade C. Several terminal sublineages of apparently geographically close samples receive good support such as D.cretaceusAdamssubsp.cretaceus and D.floribundus Boiss., but at the same time the samples of D.gratianopolitanus Vill. are spread over this clade (Fig. 2).

Clade B contains mostly Irano-Turanian and Caucasian taxa but also D.cyprius A.K.Jacks. & Turrill from Cyprus, D.alpinus L. from the European Alps and the taxa from tropical and southern Africa (D.mooiensis, D.namaensis Schinz and D.zeyheri). This is in contrast with the claim of Valente et al. (2010) that an African clade is well supported as a sister clade to a Eurasian radiation. According to our data, the African taxa are nested within the Eurasian radiation.

The third clade of the core of Dianthus (clade C) consists of the Cretan taxa Dianthusjuniperinus and some subspecies of Dianthusfruticosus. Specifically, the subspecies D.fruticosussubsp.carpathus Runemark, D.fruticosussubsp.occidentalis Runemark and D.fruticosussubsp.karavius Runemark can be found in clade C together with D.juniperinus. Dianthusfruticosus is not monophyletic; some of its subspecies, D.fruticosussubsp.fruticosus, D.fruticosussubsp.amorginus and D.fruticosussubsp.rhodius are resolved within clade A. There are no apparent morphological differences of D.fruticosussubsp.amorginus and subsp. fruticosus (both from the Cyclades), and D.fruticosussubsp.rhodius (from Rhodes and other east Aegean islands) compared to the other subspecies of D.fruticosus from clade C. This indicates convergent evolution resulting from adaptation to similar coastal rocky habitats.

Infrageneric classification of Dianthus

The classification of Pax and Hoffmann (1934) is annotated on the phylogenetic trees in Fig. 1. Even though many species were described later and therefore were not classified into infrageneric entities, it is evident that these subgenera and sections do not represent natural groups. Apart from D.sect.Armerium, there is little correlation with the taxonomic groups of either Williams (1893) or Pax and Hoffmann (1934).

Dianthussubg.Armeriastrum is highly polyphyletic and is represented both in the core of Dianthus, namely in clades A and C by D.sect.Carthusiani and D.sect.Suffruticosi, but also in the Dianthusarmeria clade (with D.sect.Armerium) that belongs to the first branches of Dianthus. However, D.sect.Armerium is paraphyletic to D.deltoides (D.subg.Caryophyllum). Clade C has exclusively taxa from D.sect.Suffruticosi, but the section itself is not limited to this clade C. It is polyphyletic due to the presence of D.armeria outside of the core Dianthus clade, the presence of three subspecies of D.fruticosus, and two further independent terminal lineages composed by D.rupicula and D.gracilis in clade A. The suffruticose life form that characterises D.sect.Suffruticosi must therefore have evolved multiple times.

Dianthussubg.Caryophyllum is in the clades A and B, with its sections forming no specific pattern. Although all the sections appear in the core of Dianthus, D.sect.Eucaryophyllum appears exclusively in clade A, while the section “Tetralepidesleiopetala” can be found in clade A and outside of the core. What was referred to as a clade corresponding to D.sect.Armerium in Valente et al. (2010) in fact consists of taxa from different sections sensu Pax and Hoffmann (1934). In addition to D.sect.Armerium, these are D.sect.Carthusiani (D.carthusianorum and D.viscidus), although the majority of species from this section are in clade A. Dianthusdeltoides, which is congruently inferred as part of the Dianthusarmeria clade by Valente et al. (2010), is classified herein in D.subg.Caryophyllum.

The early branch of Dianthuscyri and D.strictus belongs to the section “Tetralepidesleiopetala” according to Pax and Hoffmann (1934), which was originally described by Williams (1885); see Table 1. The two species D.cyri and D.tripunctatus (not sampled here) were earlier used by Boissier (1867) to define D. § 1. Verruculosi, although no type for the sectional name was designated. If we accept D.cyri as the type, the name D.sect.Verruculosi (Boiss.) Schischkin would be correct in terms of priority. This corresponds to the use of this sectional name by Valente et al. (2010), as well as some floristic treatments, e.g. Rechinger (1988). However, Williams (1885; 1893) did not designate any types for his subgeneric or sectional names either. The wide taxon concept of the section “Tetralepidesleiopetala” sensu Williams (1893) and Pax and Hoffmann (1934) can only be adjusted after the application of a validly published name and its typification. This section is polyphyletic and its species are found across all our clades (Fig. 1).

Implications for the evolution of floral and inflorescence morphology

The inflorescences in Dianthus, Petrorhagia and related genera possess a cymose principal structure as in most Caryophyllaceae, and these inflorescences exhibit various levels of complexity. The spectrum ranges from solitary flowers on more or less unbranched stems (e.g. D.sphacioticus Boiss. & Heldr., Fig. 3A), over more or less richly branched inflorescences (e.g. D.deltoides, D.juniperinus, Figs 3G, 4C, 4E) to somewhat condensed (e.g. D.armeria, Fig. 4D) or strongly condensed terminal head-like inflorescences (e.g. D.stenopetalus Griseb., Fig. 3C). These complex inflorescences have evolved independently in different lineages within Dianthus, such as the early-branching Dianthusarmeria clade (D.armeria, D.carthusianorum) and within clade A of the core group (D.cruentus Griseb., D.giganteus d’Urv., D.pinifolius Sm., D.stenopetalus) and also within clade B (D.asperulus Boiss. & A.Huet, D.transcaucasicus Schischk.). In a similar way, the condensed inflorescences in Petrorhagiaprolifera and relatives (Fig. 1C, Fig. 4F; Ball and Heywood 1964) mark convergent evolution in a terminal clade, whereas P.saxifraga has solitary flowers subtended by four decussate bracts, like in several species of Dianthus in core clades A-C (Fig. 3). Within the inflorescences, cauline herbaceous leaves more or less gradually become narrower, more scarious or papery in texture and with a more distinctly excurrent midrib (Figs 3D, 4E) toward the tip of the branches. The position of the uppermost pair of these leaf organs can be distinctly below the calyx as in Petrorhagiacretica, and in this case they differ only slightly in their morphology from cauline leaves. Alternatively, these leaf organs arise directly at the base of the calyx, resulting from a reduced peduncle and shortened uppermost internodes of the inflorescence branches or stems (Figs 3 B, D, 4E). This seems to be the most common state in Dianthus, which is present in all major lineages. These “subtending” modified leaf organs usually differ more abruptly from the upper leaves on stems and inflorescence branches and have been called “epicalyx scales” or “epicalyx bracts” (Ball and Heywood 1964; Tutin 1964; Madhani et al. 2018;) . Condensed inflorescences with multiple flowers do not only have such “epicalyx scales” but also additional, usually brown, scarious bracts (Fig. 3C) that create a firm, head-like appearance.

This was noted by Tutin (1964), who stated that bracts occur in species with capitate inflorescences and should be distinguished from epicalyx scales. Specialised inflorescence types have also evolved in other genera of Caryophyllales, such as the head-like synflorescences composed of several paracladia that are supported by pseudanthial leaves in Gomphrena, Amaranthaceae (Ortuño Limarino and Borsch 2020). Therefore, complex evolution of inflorescences is present in the Caryophyllales, and occurs multiple times within the respective genera. The absence or presence of “epicalyx bracts” as discussed by Ball and Heywood (1964) and Madhani et al. (2018) can therefore not be used as diagnostic to delimit Dianthus from Petrorhagia and as such does not represent a homologous character. Nevertheless, the evolution of complex inflorescence types, which possess additional modified leaf organs compared to the subtending opposite leaves in dichasial inflorescence structures, may be more accurately reconstructed once there is a fully resolved tree of Dianthus.

The conspicuous species with plumose petals (Fig. 3) were early on classified as “Dianthussect.Plumaria”, a name published by Opiz (1852), albeit a nomen nudum and therefore invalid. It largely corresponds to D.sect.Fimbriati (Boiss.) F.N.Williams. This section is highly polyphyletic, and points to multiple evolutionary origins of plumose petals in Dianthus, such as in D.superbus (core clade A) and D.crinitus or D.libanotis, (core clade B), and there are also transitional petals slightly plumose at the tip (e.g. D.cyprius, D.namaensis).

Implications for biogeography and diversification patterns

A striking biogeographic feature within Dianthus is the Cretan D.juniperinus-D.fruticosus clade (clade C). The highly fragmented form of the Aegean region with many islands is the result of a series of geological events. Between the Lower Oligocene and before the Serravallian, there was a land mass, Aegea. Since Serravallian and until Upper Tortonian times (12–5 MYA), the sea slowly invaded and formed the mid-Aegean Trench, which divided the eastern and central-western parts of Aegea. During the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.96–5.33 MYA), the Mediterranean Sea almost dried up, creating routes between some isolated areas. Nevertheless, Crete remained isolated from the Cyclades and Peloponnese due to deep trenches with high salinity. At the beginning of the Pliocene (5.3 Ma), the sea level rose again and resulted in a highly fragmented Aegea. Crete was almost submerged and only the peaks of the mountains remained as isolated islands. Since the Middle Pliocene until the upper Pliocene-Lower Pleistocene, the Aegean islands and Crete took their present form, with minor changes. The palaeogeographic history of the Aegean Sea has a major contribution to the biogeographic patterns of all recent taxa of these areas (Sfenthourakis and Triantis 2017). The bisection of D.fruticosus into two different clades, with D.fruticosussubsp.fruticosus, D.fruticosussubsp.amorginus and D.fruticosussubsp.rhodius belonging to clade A and the rest of the subspecies nested in the C with D.juniperinus, follows the fragmentation of Aegea due to the formation of the Mid-Aegean Trench. Moreover, Crete was connected to the mainland during most of the Miocene and was mostly isolated during the Pliocene, forming its own unique biogeographic patterns. The Aegean region is a biologically very diverse archipelago, but the way in which the islands and plant groups have interacted and evolved is not yet sufficiently understood. There are some recent studies, e.g. Kougioumoutzis et al. (2016) that address the biogeographic studies in the area, but further research is nonetheless crucial.

The tropical and southern African Dianthus taxa appear in our clade C within the Eurasian taxa, although, due to lack of resolution, we cannot yet infer the closest relatives of the southern African species. Dianthus shows a pattern like other species from the northern hemisphere with African high-mountain clades nested within Eurasian clades, as shown for, e.g., Carex and Ranunculus (Gehrke and Linder 2009). Many cases suggest not only migration from the northern hemisphere, but the recurrence of that (Bleeker et al. 2002; Carlsen et al. 2009), which could explain the presence of the African taxa within the clades of Eurasian taxa. The tropical-alpine and tropical-montane floras, as suggested by Linder (2014), show strong relations with the flora of Eurasia. One probable migration route from Eurasia to southern Africa for these taxa is through the Arabian Peninsula and the high mountains of eastern and southern Africa (Koch et al. 2006), which fits well with the pattern observed in this study that African Dianthus are part of a clade dominated by the Eurasian and Irano-Turanian taxa.

Dianthus is suggested to be one of the fastest species radiations of flowering plants (Valente et al. 2010). These authors calculated diversification rates by using a rather conservative estimate of 300 species. Considering that the number of species in Dianthus as assessed here is distinctly higher, the true speciation rates may also even be higher. On the other hand, there is not a single “Eurasian radiation” as suggested by Valente et al. (2010). Rather, our data point to three sub-radiations in the core of Dianthus, which seem to have evolved different numbers of species in different geographic areas. It is noteworthy that Dianthus has not evolved a high number of species in tropical and southern Africa. The smallest is the radiation of D.juniperinus and allies on Crete (our clade C). However, the number of species in this lineage is still difficult to assess because the current classification includes many subspecies and because species as currently classified do not represent biological entities.

Compared to the other lineages of Dianthus, clade C shows a high phylogenetic structure and apparently some geographic patterns. Future analyses will therefore test how far speciation was triggered through geographic and ecological isolation on Crete. The two much more species-rich clades A and B have colonised vast geographic areas, offering many more ecological opportunities and potential areas for spatial isolation.

Phylogenetic signal at species level and speciation in Dianthus

Genetic distances in Dianthus are very low, which limits resolution in phylogeny reconstruction at species level and may be attributed to the core clade of Dianthus representing a rapid radiation (Valente et al. 2010) that did not yet allow for the accumulation of mutations in the genomic regions sequenced, while the evolution of phenotypic characters occurred more quickly. Sequence divergence is particularly low in the ribosomal array (Fig. 2). Nevertheless, the overall phylogenetic tree of Dianthus (Fig. 2) reveals deep nodes with significant statistical support. The core Dianthus clade exhibits a deep sharing of plastid haplotypes in some species, for example in D.gratianopolitanus, where individuals from geographically different populations in central Europe are resolved in various sublineages of clade A. The pattern in this species is particularly striking since there were no noticeable morphological differences among these individuals. Another species complex with deeply shared plastid haplotypes is D.orientalis Adams (Fig. 1, clade B), although here considerable morphological variation is present that has led to the acceptance of several subspecies. Again, the haplotypes are shared only within subclade C, and not across the genus. Such a pattern could be explained by a combination of shared ancestral variation and continuous secondary genetic contact, which took place within certain major lineages of Dianthus and within certain geographic areas. Dianthus seems to be one of the most extreme cases of deep chloroplast-sharing in flowering plants, similar to what has been observed in the rapid postglacial evolution of relatives of Arabidopsisthaliana (L.) Heynh. during the last 800,000 years (Hohmann and Koch 2017; Novikova et al. 2016).

Future research will therefore have to employ phylogenomic approaches to better understand species-level relationships and species limits in Dianthus. In addition to sequencing a broad set of nuclear loci, the analysis of complete plastid genomes will reveal how far plastid genomes are really shared between extant species, considering that our current limited sampling of the plastid regions may not depict the full complexity and divergence patterns of this maternally inherited organellar genome.

Species diversity of Dianthus

Our Dianthus checklist contains 384 accepted species, and 147 accepted heterotypic subspecies. The unresolved names section of the checklist contains a further 172 species names that were not assessed, and a number of them may be good species as well. Therefore, the often-quoted number of 300 species (Pax and Hoffmann 1934; Bittrich 1993; Hernández-Ledesma et al. 2015) is underestimated. It should be noted that we present a compilation of names, not a genus-wide treatment, which we nevertheless consider to be an accurate estimate of the species diversity since it is based on available detailed treatments. It is therefore much more accurate compared to the previous World Flora Online backbone based on The Plant List in terms of accepted species and synonyms. About 50 names that were unresolved in the original WFO backbone could be resolved in our checklist. The remaining 172 unresolved names are in part old names, described in the 19th century and apparently not used in subsequent treatments. But there are also a number of names described from south-eastern Europe, which would have to be assessed in more detail by local experts.

It is both noteworthy and unexpected that taxon concepts are congruent between different treatments, despite some geographic overlap. The widely distributed species are accepted under the same name in different Floras, while subspecies are normally geographically restricted and therefore only accepted in one Flora. In total, differing taxonomic concepts affect fewer than 10 taxa in the whole checklist.

So far, only one species complex within Dianthus has been analysed with an evolutionary approach. Farsi et al. (2013) used a combination of sequence data and morphological characters to assess species limits in the D.polylepis Bien. complex, concluding that D.binaludensis Rech.f. could not be separated from D.polylepis but should be better treated as its subspecies. Our present study provides insights into the Dianthusfruticosus and D.juniperinus groups, but aside from that, basically all other species limits in Dianthus are still based on classical morphology, and so are the numerous recent descriptions of new species.

Nomenclatural novelties

The three species of Petrorhagia that were found nested in Dianthus (P.armerioides, P.candica and P.alpina) were already transferred to Dianthus by Madhani et al. (2018). We found two additional Petrorhagia species to be part of the Dianthus clade although they have no name in Dianthus. Of the three subspecies of P.illyrica, we sampled only one. They all are morphologically very similar (Ball and Heywood 1964) and therefore can be expected to be closely related, although we are aware that is not true for the subspecies of Dianthusfruticosus that we showed to be unrelated. Nevertheless, we provide new combinations for the other two P.illyrica subspecies so that these subspecies can be classified in Dianthus. Their phylogenetic placement remains to be tested.

Veleziarigida, the nomenclatural type of Velezia, was found to be nested within the Dianthus clade by Madhani et al. (2018) and therefore Velezia cannot be accepted as a separate genus any longer. We therefore provide new names in Dianthus for the five remaining Velezia species; their phylogenetic placement however remains to be confirmed.

The complete homotypic and heterotypic synonymy for each of the species is given in the checklist; here we provide only the basionyms and the former names in Petrorhagia or Velezia.

Lectotype.

(designated by Davis in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 22: 164. 1957): locality, date and collector unknown, Herb. Linnaeus No. 580.4 (LINN!).

Davis (1957) had pointed out the name Tunicacretica (L.) Fisch. & C.A.Mey. (basionym: Saponariacretica L.) had been misapplied, whereas in fact the type of the name (the specimen in LINN) is an annual species that was later named Tunicapachygona Fisch. & C.A.Mey. Accordingly, the correct name in Dianthus would be D.pachygonus, the new combination published here because the epithet of Saponariacretica is preoccupied in Dianthus by D.creticus Tausch. which is now treated as Dianthusfruticosussubsp.creticus (Tausch) Runemark.

Acknowledgements

We thank Walter Berendsohn and the EDIT Platform developer team Andreas Müller, Andreas Kohlbecker and Katja Luther for their continuous commitment in developing and maintaining the Platform and for their help with database imports and queries, data cleaning, implementing Platform features and generating the checklist as a database output. We are very grateful to Nicholas Turland for his advice on nomenclatural questions and for many helpful comments on the manuscript. We further thank the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for providing what was at that time an unpublished dataset of the World Checklist of Vascular Plants, as well as William Ulate of the World Flora Online team at the Missouri Botanical Garden for facilitating the WFO backbone data for Dianthus. We thank Katerina Goula, Nicholas Turland and Aris Zografidis for providing photographs. The Berlin laboratory team, especially Kim Govers, Julia Dietrich and Annika Richtering helped with generating the sequences and Gabi Dröge assisted with sample metadata management and ENA sequence submission. We thank Alexandra Winizuk, Florian Michling and Nora Walden (Heidelberg) for assistance in generating, annotating and submitting plastome sequence data. Material and trnK/matK sequences for German Dianthus and Petrorhagia were generated in the GBOL I – German Barcode of Life project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (FKZ 01LI1101). Sampling of the Caucasian species and the corresponding laboratory work was carried out as part of the project Developing tools for conserving the plant diversity of the South Caucasus funded by VolkswagenStiftung (reference AZ85021 and AZ89950). In this context, we also thank Zhirair Vardanyan and Anahit Ghukasyan, both former heads of the Institute of Botany, Yerevan, Armenia for their continuous support of this project. We are also highly indebted to the Kuban State University Krasnodar (Russia) and Svetlana A. Litvinskaya for support of field work in the Krasnodar Region, Russia. We further acknowledge financial support from the Verein der Freunde des Botanischen Gartens und des Botanischen Museums Berlin for field work in Russia and Greece as well as financial support from from the Green Fund and the Hellenic Botanical Society (Greece) for a part of this study. Financial support from the Stiftung Naturschutzfond Baden-Württemberg (M Koch, 27.8831.27/546) is also greatly acknowledged for processing of plastome data of Cheddar pink. We thank, Richard K. Rabeler, University of Michigan for his numerous helpful suggestions on this manuscript.
