Ninety taxa representing 13 sections of the genus Hypericum were analyzed along with two representatives of Thornea using nuclear ITS sequences in order to assess the scope of phylogenetic relationships in this species-rich genus. The resulting parsimony analysis corroborates the actual classification and interspecific affinities. Results with good support indicate the monophyletic assemblage of the sections Campylosporus, Androsaemum, Roscyna, Hypericum, Olympia, Drosocarpium, Coridium, Myriandra and Trigynobrathys. The molecular data provide convincing support for the current infrageneric taxonomic position of the section Roscyna, and the common origin of the sections Myriandra and Trigynobrathys. The earlier evolutionary hypothese concerning the origin of H. balearicum and H. calycinum is not supported by our data analysis. The obtained results encourage the use of ITS sequence analysis in resolving the phylogenetic relationships within the member-rich genus Hypericum.
