Donrichardsia macroneuron

FIGURE 6.3 The secondary structure of the tmL intron of Brachythecium cirmsum and secondary structures of P8 regions of Oxyrrhynchium Mans and Donrichardsia macroneuron. Numbers indicate positions in POY alignment where substitutions/indels occur (see supplemental CD). 

The highest rate of substitutions was found in Donrichardsia (18 common substitutions in both species studied) and in four specimens of three species of Oxyrrhynchium 0. Mans, 0. savatieri and 0. vagans (14 substitutions — and 10 of them common with Donrichardsia). This unusually high rate of variability can be considered as additional evidence for the very close relationship of two local endemics, the American Donrichardsia macroneuron and Chinese D. patulifolia, despite their quite different habit.
