e0“A molecular phylogenetic tree showed that L. boninense made a clade with L. scabrum from Japan, Taiwan and, Hong Kong; L. javense which is widely distributed in East and Southeast Asia, and L. pachyphyllum and L. seemannii restricted to the Hawaii Islands, as well as with L. scaberulum from the Ryukyus, Japan, Taiwan, and southeastern China”

- Observation Bonin Islands L. boninense formed a monophyletic group closely related to Japanese L. scabrum and L. javense.
- Association L. boninense may have evolved from L. scabrum or L. javense.
- Method / resource The trnK intron had 5.8% parsimony-informative characters, significantly more than rbcL at 2.4%.
- Method / resource The trnK intron had 5.8% parsimony-informative characters, significantly more than rps4 at 3.2%.
- Method / resource trnK intron including matK sequence data were more informative than other chloroplast regions for Leucobryum phylogeny.
