Biogeography Havran, J [1], Swenson, Ulf [2], Munzinger , Jérôme [3], McLoughlin , Stephen [4], Nylinder , Stephan [5]. Origins and interisland biogeography of endemic Hawaiian Planchonella (Sapotaceae). Planchonella (Sapotaceae) is a Australasian-Pacific centered genus of 110 species, represented in Hawaii by the morphologically-confusing taxon P. sandwicensis. To evaluate the biogeographic history of Planchonella in the Pacific and Hawaii, we conducted a time calibrated phylogeny of 80 species of Planchonella, including over 20 accessions from Hawaii, using ITS, ETS, and RPB2 markers. A split in the tree in the vicinity of Fiji about 19.5 Ma led to an establishment of Planchonella in the Hawaiian Islands about 10.6 Ma. This age of the Hawaiian Planchonella supports a pre-Kauai origin, possibly on Necker Island. Two distinct Hawaiian subclades are evident in the phylogeny, each confers to a different fruit color: purple and yellow. The yellow-fruited clade confers in part to the progression rule with a potential origin in Kauai and a progressive colonization to younger islands. The purple-fruited clade shows an origin on Maui or Oahu followed by back-dispersal to older islands. The two clades likely correspond to two endemic species in Hawaii, P. sandwicensis with purple fruit and the yellow-fruited P. spathulata (currently in synonymy with P. sandwicensis).
