Abstract
Data from the chloroplast genes rbcL and ndhF, totaling more than 3500 base pairs of DNA sequence, were used to examine the monophyly of the Scrophulariaceae, including several groups that have been suggested to belong to or to be derived from the Scrophulariaceae.Thirty-two taxa representing the Lamiales s.l. and outgroups were sampled
