Re-Establishment of the Genus Ania Lindl. (Orchidaceae)

Ania Lindl. is a small genus of the tribe Collabieae subtribe Collabiinae (Orchidaceae). For the last 150 years, it has generally been treated as a synonym of Tainia Blume. In this study, we critically re-examined morphological characters that have been used to distinguish Ania from Tainia, and assessed the phylogeny of Tainia using morphological and palynological characters. Sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS, chloroplast trnL intron and combined DNA data sets were analysed to clarify the delimitation and the phylogeny of these groups. The morphological and palynological survey revealed a number of useful diagnostic characters which permit a clear definition of Ania, after the exclusion of a single taxonomically questionable species. Results confirmed that Ania is distinct from Tainia. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on molecular data provided the greatest resolution and produced a morphologically well differentiated clade of Ania. In addition to morphological and suggested palynological characters, the phylogenies were also supported by karyological evidence. Our results support the independent generic status of Ania. The genus name Ania is revived and re-established.


Introduction
The acceptance of the genus Ania Lindl.(Orchidaceae) varied historically, with the majority of opinions tending to include it within Tainia Blume (see references [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]).The distinction between Ania and Tainia has historically not been clearly defined, and the delimitation of the genus Tainia sensu lato has been much debated.No comprehensive treatment is currently available for either genus.Given the present uncertainty about the relationships between these two groups, it seemed desirable to review the question in detail.
The genus Tainia was first described by Blume [13] and consists of about 28 species [14][15].It occurs from India, China, and Southeast Asia to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia [11][12].Blume [16] unnecessarily changed its generic name from Tainia to Mitopetalum.The genus Ania Lindl.was created by Lindley [17] based on two species collected in India.He did mention that the genus is characterized by a three-lobed, saccate or spurred lip.In the same work, however, Lindley included one species (Ania latifolia) without a spur on the lip [17].Later, Blume [18] synonymised Ania under his genus Mitopetalum.Reichenbach f. [19] shared Blume's opinion; he grouped Lindley's Ania species under the former name Taina, which took precedence over Mitopetalum.Subsequent authors accepted the circumscription of Tainia as presented by Blume [13] and moved various Ania species to Tainia [1][2][3][4].Then Ridley [20] came to a different conclusion.He separated some Tainia species in a new genus Ascotainia Ridl., which was characterized by having conical pseudobulbs, and free lateral sepals, not forming a mentum.This idea was rejected by Smith [5][6].Schlechter [21][22] accepted both Ascotainia and Tainia, placing the two genera in two different subtribes; he considered that Tainia belongs in the Collabiinae and Ascotainia in the Phajinae.Tang & Wang regarded these two groups as independent genera.They made new combinations for certain species to resurrect the generic name Ania, but these new combinations have not been published until 1939 [23].More recently, some authors have upheld the separation of Tainia and Ania [14,[24][25][26], while others have merged the two genera [7][8][9][10][11][12].
In his monograph, Turner [14] followed those authors in separating these two genera, but he noted that he 'failed to see in what way the lateral sepals of these two genera differ'.He utilized a combination of vegetative and reproductive characters, such as pseudobulb shape, leaf articulation, inflorescence position, and lip spur.
In an attempt to resolve the generic limits of Ania and the seemingly incongruent combinations of features shared with Tainia [15], we realized that these somewhat ambiguously circumscribed characters do not distinguish all species of Ania from Tainia.For example, the petiole is not articulated in Ania viridifusca (Hook.)T. Tang & F. T. Wang ex Summerh.; in Tainia paucifolia J. J. Smith the inflorescence is not terminal but lateral.It is undoubtedly clear that species in Tainia sensu lato include different elements.
In particular, an important problem in the delimitation of Tainia concerns the crucial differences between these two groups.As mentioned above, Tainia species possess a lip generally without spur.Most species previously referred to Ania by Turner [14] are characterized by a distinctly spurred lip, with the exception of A. ponggolensis A.L. Lamb ex H. Turner.Turner stated that this species is clearly different to the others.He provisionally placed it into Ania and pointed out its generic position is unclear.Apart from the major difference in lip, there are also several other differences.The question arose whether species with such significant differences could belong to the same genus.In addition, some floral characters, e.g., whether lateral sepals are free or not, have long been in dispute.A study that combining the morphological work with the analysis of molecular sequences is clearly needed, in order to identify which morphological characters correlate to the phylogenetic relationships.
In light of recent DNA phylogenetic analyses [15,27], the monophyly of Tainia sensu lato began to be seriously challenged.However, the precise generic delimitation of these groups and their relationships remain largely unknown.In the present study, we present the molecular phylogeny using DNA sequence data based on both nuclear and plastid sequences, and reevaluate the morphological, cytological and palynological characters of Tainia sensu lato, in order to: (1) test the intrageneric classification of Tainia and construct its phylogeny based on both morphological and molecular data; (2) investigate whether Ania deserves recognition at generic rank; (3) gain a better understanding of the generic status, circumscription and taxonomic delimitation of Ania species.
This study is part of the ongoing research project of the revision of the species in the genus Tainia.

Ethics statement
The locations of the field studies are neither private lands nor protected areas.The species collected here are currently not included in the Chinese Red Data Book.The fieldwork was conducted under the valid permissions of the authority of each natural reserve, specifically Caiyanghe National Nature Reserve (Yunnan, China), Nanling National Nature Reserve (Guangdong, China) and Wuzhishan National Nature Reserve (Hainan, China).No specific permits are required for the present study.

Taxon sampling and DNA extraction
Within Tainia, 17 samples representing 12 species in the genus were surveyed.The material for the phylogenetic analyses was carefully chosen so that the taxonomic sections of Tainia were well represented.As many taxonomically important species as possible were included in the analysis.In total, we assembled a dataset of 42 accessions (27 newly obtained and the remainder downloaded from GenBank) representing 34 species in 11 genera with an emphasis on sampling Tainia s.l.Representatives of Eria Lindl.and Phreatia Lindl.were selected as outgroups, guided by van den Berg et al. [28].Based on evidence from recent molecular phylogeny [15,27], we also included 19 representative species of the following genera within these major groups: Acanthephippium Blume ex Endl., Ancistrochilus Rolfe, Calanthe R.Br., Cephalantheropsis Guillaumin., Collabium Blume, Nephelaphyllum Blume, Phaius Lour.and Spathoglottis Blume.All taxa were collected in the field and grown in the greenhouse, resulting in silica-dried samples for all of them.Whenever it was possible, DNA was extracted from a minimum of two specimens with the typical characteristics of each taxon, to confirm its phylogenetic position.The material sampled for the molecular phylogeny associated with herbarium voucher specimens are given in Table S1 (see supplementary information).
Total genomic DNA was extracted from silica-gel dried leaf tissue following a modified 26CTAB protocol [29].The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications were performed in PTC-200 thermocycler (Bio-Rad).We employed the nuclear marker of the internal transcribed spacer 1, the gene 5.8S, and internal transcribed spacer 2 (hereafter called ITS) and non-coding chloroplast region trnL intron.These two markers are phylogenetically informative at and above the species level for orchids [30][31][32][33].
For the nrITS region, we used the primers 17SE and 26SE of Sun et al. [34] and a PCR program consisting of an initial denaturation at 94uC for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94uC, annealing at 58uC for 1 min, and 2 min at 72uC extension, and a final extension for 5 min at 72uC.The reaction mix for ITS contained 0.3 mL (5 U/mL) AmpliTaq polymerase, ddH 2 O 16.7 mL, 106 buffer, (MgCl 2 ) 2.5 mL (0.2 mmol/L) dNTP, 0.5 mL (10 mmol/L) of each primer, 2 mL DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and 10 ng/L template DNA.For the chloroplast trnL intron, we used the primers trn-c and trn-d, based on Taberlet et al. [35].The reaction mix for trnL intron contained 0.3 mL (5 U/mL) AmpliTaq polymerase, ddH 2 O 15.7 mL, 106 buffer, (MgCl 2 ) 2.5 mL, 2 mL (2.5 mmol/L) dNTP, 0.5 mL (10 mmol/L) of each primer, 1 mL DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and 10 ng/L template DNA.The reaction conditions were: a first period of denaturation at 94uC for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles at 94uC, annealing at 52uC for 30 s, and 1 min at 72uC extension, and a final extension at 72uC for 7 min.Amplified fragments were purified using a DNA gel cleaning Kit (TaKaRa), and bidirectional sequencing reactions were performed by Invitrogen Trading Shanghai Co., Ltd.

Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses
Sequence fragments were assembled and edited using the Sequencher [36] software package.For each marker, DNA sequences were initially aligned using Clustal X v.1.83[37] and adjusted manually using the software Se-Al v.2.0a11 [38].When aligning non-coding DNA sequences, we followed the recommendation of Kelchner [39].Regions in the alignment that appeared ambiguous for trnL intron were excluded from the analyses.These regions included poly-A and poly-T regions corresponding to positions 573-730 of the aligned sequences (158 positions).
The phylogenetic reconstruction of the sequences was performed by maximum parsimony (MP) in PAUP* verion 4.0b10 [40].Each dataset was analyzed separately and then a simultaneous analysis was performed including both regions.Before combining the datasets, the incongruence length difference (ILD) test was conducted to assess data congruency using PAUP* and 10, 000 heuristic search replications including only parsimonyinformative characters.The ILD test failed to identify significant conflict between the nrITS and the plastid datasets.We therefore subsequently analyzed these two datasets in combination.
For the MP analysis, heuristic searches were performed with 1000 random addition sequences replicates, followed by treebisection-reconnection (TBR) branch swapping.MulTrees and Collapse options selected, setting no upper limit for MaxTrees.All characters were treated as unordered and equally weighted, gaps were treated as missing data.A strict consensus tree [41][42] was generated from the most parsimonious trees (MPT).The Bootstrap percentages [43] for support of the resulting nodes calculated from 1000 replicates using a heuristic search, each with 10 randomaddition replicates following by tree bisection-reconnection (TBR) swapping algorithm.Because too many trees were found for the trnL intron data, we kept no more than 1000 trees per replicate.The consistency (CI) and retention index (RI) were calculated to estimate homoplasy.
Phylogenetic analyses of the separate and combined data analyses were also conducted using Bayesian inference.We identified the best-fitting substitution model for each DNA region (ITS, trnL intron and combined dataset) through Modeltest v.3.7 [44], implementing the Akaike information criterion (AIC) to compare models.The general time-reversible nucleotide substitution model, with among-site rate variation modeled with a gamma distribution (GTR+G), was selected for the trnL intron marker and the combined data, GTR+G and a proportion of invariable sites (GTR+I+G) were selected for the ITS marker.For all three analyses, Bayesian inferences were conducted using MrBayes v.3.1.2[45].The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm was run for 2,000,000 generations with four incrementally heated chains, starting from random trees and sampling one out of every 200 generations.The initial 25% of samples of each MCMC run were discarded as burn-in, after checking for stability on the loglikelihood curves, produced split frequencies of less than 0.01, showing convergence between the paired runs.The remaining trees were used to construct the Bayesian consensus tree.
Because parsimony and Bayesian inference may both be affected by long-branch attraction [46], the combined dataset was also analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML) in GARLI v.0.97 [47].Models of evolution were specified, as described above for the BI analysis.Subsequently, 1000 non-parametric bootstraps were performed under the partition data mode.

Morphological and palynological studies
Details of the flowers, particularly the pollinarium, were observed and photographed under a stereomicroscope (Zeiss DV4).Pollen morphology was analyzed using a Scanningelectron-microscope (SEM) type JSM-6360LV.The Morphological data used here have been gathered both by extensive observation and adaptation of descriptions from a number of taxonomic and review papers, as well as examination of herbarium specimens.These specimens were either from new field collections done for this study, or from various herbaria (AMES, BM, CAL, E, HITBC, IBK, IBSC, K, KUN, L, MO, NY, P, PE, SING, SZG, TAI, TAIF, US).Morphological data obtained from literature were confirmed with new observations as far as possible.Special care was taken to encompass the whole geographical range, and to evaluate the patterns of morphological variation within the species range, and their taxonomic utility.Observations of pollinaria were generally made from herbarium materials rehydrated in boiling water.In addition, pollinarium samples were also taken from the living plants cultivated in the greenhouse of South China Botanical Garden, CAS (SCBG).For SEM observations, pollinia were fixed in FAA (formalin-acetic acidalcohol 10:5:50), dehydrated in an ethanol series, critical-point dried in liquid CO 2 and sputter coated with gold for 5 min.To cover intraspecific variation, pollinia of 3-5 individuals per species were sampled.
In addition to traditional characters, we identified additional potentially useful characters that have previously been undescribed or overlooked, such as leaf vernation, width ratio of lateral sepals to petals, lateral sepal shape, column and column-foot length, column orientation, column wing, pollinium type and pollen surface (Table S2, characters 8, 26-27, 37-40, 44, 49-50).A total of 50 characters suitable for phylogenetic analysis were corded in the data matrix, consisting of 37 (10 vegetative and 27 reproductive) qualitative characters and 13 (4 vegetative and 9 reproductive) quantitative characters.The terminology mainly follows [7,10,48].A descriptive list of morphological characters is presented in Table S2.Voucher specimens examined for detailed morphological analyses are listed in Table S3.Vouchers for representative species of palynological studies are listed in Table S4 (see Table S2-S4 in the Electronic Supplements).
The cladistic analysis was based on the morphological matrix (see Table S5) and performed using PAUP* version 4.0b10 [40] with a heuristic search strategy, TBR branch swapping, starting with 1000 random additions, all characters weighted equally, and the MULTREES option in effect.The analyses were repeated 1000 times with the random addition option.A strict consensus tree summarized sets of equally parsimonious trees.To assess confidence in clades, bootstrap (BS) tests were performed using 1000 bootstrap replicates with 10 random-addition replicates.

Cytological study
Mitotic chromosomes were investigated using root tips taken from living plants cultivated in the greenhouse of SCBG (Table S4).Actively growing root tips were pretreated with 0.002 mol/L 8-hydroxyquinoline solution while shielded from light for about 1.5 h at 4uC, and then washed with distilled water, fixed in freshly prepared cold Carnoy's Fluid (ethanol: acetic acid solution = 3:1) in a mixture of water and ice for 2-3 h at 4uC, washed with distilled water three times, and later hydrolyzed in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid at 60uC for 7-8 min.After three more rinses in distilled water, root tips were stained in 1% aceto-orcein solution for more than 15 min, and then squashed on the slide for light microscopy.Chromosome counts were made using cells at metaphase division and observed under Zeiss Axioscope.Photographs were taken with a Zeiss Photomicroscope II.The chromosomes of at least ten metaphase cells were counted and the measurements of three cells were made.

Molecular phylogeny
The aligned ITS dataset comprised a total of 853 bases, of which 310 were parsimony informative.The MP analyses produced 3 most parsimonious trees with the tree length of 1162, consistency index (CI) of 0.497 (excluding uninformative characters), and retention index (RI) of 0.738.The trnL intron dataset provided 1057 aligned bases (158 excluded), of which 93 were parsimony informative.Heuristic searches yielded 675 most parsimonious trees with the tree length of 309 steps, CI = 0.717 (excluding uninformative characters) and RI = 0.852.The main clades found in the parsimony analyses of the individual ITS and trnL intron datasets were generally congruent (see Fig. S1 and Fig. S2 in the Electronic Supplements).Compared with trnL intron sequence, the ITS region provided the higher number of parsimony informative characters, and the interspecific variation of the ITS sequence was higher than that of the trnL intron sequence.The combined ITS and trnL intron dataset consisted of 1910 aligned DNA bases (158 excluded), with a total of 403 parsimony informative characters.The MP analyses resulted in 3 most parsimonious trees of 1495 steps, with CI of 0.514 (excluding uninformative characters), and RI of 0.742.
In the analyses of the combined dataset, topologies generated by maximum likelihood (Fig. S3 in the Electronic Supplement) and Bayesian inference (not shown) are highly congruent with maximum parsimony (Fig. 1, right).Our molecular phylogeny indicated that all sampled members of Tainia in broad sense fall into two groups, clades A and B. Clade B comprises species previously referred to the genus Ania, forming a monophyletic clade with high bootstrap and Bayesian support (100% BS, 1.00 PP), which is strongly supported as sister (80% BS, 1.00 PP) to the clade A. Within the subclade A 1 , the core Tainia includes at least three major assemblages of species.The small clade (100% BS, 1.00 PP) that comprises sampled Nephelaphyllum is nested within Tainia, where it forms a well-supported sister group to the assemblages containing species T. longiscapa.The small clade (100% BS, 1.00 PP) that comprises a species previously assigned to the genus Mischobulbum [7][8][9][10]12,[14][15][21][22][24][25][26] and its closely related species T. macrantha may also represent a distinct lineage of Tainia given further sampling.Within the subclade A 2 (100% BS, 1.00 PP), Collabium is resolved as monophyletic with strong support.

Morphology and palynology
Previous studies dealing with the taxonomic position of Tainia did not consider the distinct discrepancy in their pollinaria.Morphological observations under the LM show significant variation in pollinaria of different species, with respect to the size, pollinia shape, and in the length of their caudicles (Fig. 2).In all samples examined under the SEM, pollen grains are irregular or polygonal in shape, 14.41-45.65mm612.16-23.58mm in size, inaperturate, and occur in tightly packed tetrads.However, exine sculpture varies from laevigate, laevigate-porate, foveolate, regulate, to irregular perforate.The most eye-catching difference is the characteristic breaks or seams on the sporopollenin cap of outer tetrads of some species (Fig. 3A-G).
Maximum parsimony (MP) analysis of the full matrix yielded 6 most parsimonious trees, with a length of 142 steps, CI = 0.497 (excluding uninformative characters); RI = 0.833.Of 50 total characters, 1 character is parsimony-uninformative, 49 characters are parsimony informative.The strict consensus of these trees is shown in Fig. 4.
Topology of the strict consensus tree based on morphological characters allowed us to identify several major clades within the ingroup.The cladograms indicate that Tainia s.l. is polyphyletic.Three Tainia species (T.purpureifolia Carr, T. vegetissima Ridl.and the related T. longiscapa (Seidenf.ex H. Turner) J.J. Wood & A.L. Lamb.) appear as sister to a clade composed by Hancockia Rolfe and representatives of Nephelaphyllum Blume with moderate support (60% BS).Morphologically, they share similar conduplicate, more or less fleshy, and abaxially purplish leaves.The clade consisting of species previously referred to Ania was supported as monophyletic with strong support (100% BS), after the exclusion of (T.ponggolensis (A.L.Lamb ex H. Turner) J.J. Wood & A.L. Lamb).Resolution was high and strong bootstrap support confirmed the monophyly of several traditionally recognized genera (e.g., Collabium, and Chrysoglossum.

Discussion
The overall topology generated from the molecular data is consistent with morphological data with respect to major groups, and in most cases strongly supported clades (Fig. 1).Morphological data helped to tentatively place several taxa for which DNA was not available.A summary of the morphological and cytological study is presented by mapping the most informative diagnostic characters at generic and species levels onto the phylogeny.These analyses indicate that all earlier delimitations of Tainia not only fail to meet the criterion of monophyly with respect to the analyzed morphological and sequence data, but demonstrate Tainia is clearly polyphyletic and requires taxonomic change at generic level.
The result of cladistic analysis based on morphological data confirms that the species of Tainia previously ascribed to Ania sensu Lindley [17] and Reichenbach [19] form a monophyletic group only if T. ponggolensis is excluded (Fig. 4).This delimitation of Ania has strong support in our molecular analyses and represents a morphologically clear-cut entity.The generic position of T. ponggolensis is doubtful.Morphologically this species possesses more than one leaf (liver-coloured when young), and has a pilose inflorescence of only two flowers with pilose sepals.It is the only species in Ania that has gourd-shaped pseudobulb, a distinctly long column-foot, and a lip without a spur.With the sole exception of this questionably-placed taxon, all other members of Ania share similar vegetative and floral features.
As mentioned above, traditional treatments used some vegetative characters such as pseudobulb shape to delimit the two genera, resulting in confused taxonomic grouping [20][21][22][23]26].Unlike a taxonomy based on vegetative characters, our morphological and palynological survey confirmed the diagnostic validity of some floral characters.For instance, flowers of all species formerly included in Ania (except for Tainia ponggolensis) are found with a spur at the lip base, whereas all other Tainia species do not develop a lip spur.Furthermore, our survey clearly revealed additional floral characters that are useful for genus and species delimitation.There is great diversity in the sepals and petals, which differ markedly in shape and size, and vary somewhat in the ratio of width of lateral sepals and petals (Fig. 6).Moreover, there are significant differences in the length of their column and column-foot (Fig. 7).These important floral differences are related to the phylogeny of the groups (Fig. 1), showing different diversification patterns within the clades.
Unfortunately, floral characters in this genus have been frequently confused.As stated above (see Introduction), whether or not the lateral sepals are free from the column-foot is controversial.In fact, as Turner [14] pointed out, the lateral sepals in both groups are slightly drawn out towards their base, and in both groups this outdrawn portion is curved downward and back around the column-foot, and thus in a sense the sepals are indeed adnate to column-foot.However, according to our observation, there are distinct differences in the length of the column-foot between the two groups (Fig. 7).Due to the long and remarkable column-foot, the lateral sepals in Tania appear to be adnate to, or broadly inserted on the column-foot, forming a distinct mentum.Our results indicate that the similarity between Ania and Taina is not as great as previously suggested.The short spur of Ania is only superficially similar to the mentum of Tainia, which is formed by the column-foot and the base of the decurrent lateral sepals.With respect to the comprehensive comparison, Ania are only linked with Tainia by homoplasies but not by true synapomorphies.
Palynological data obtained reinforce the distinction between Ania and Tainia.The observations under LM and SEM revealed that pollinarium type and pollen exine sculpture vary between different species, mostly in accordance with their sequence-based phylogeny, strongly suggesting a polyphyletic nature for the currently circumscribed Tainia.We investigated pollen morphology of five species of Tainia formerly included in Ania (5/7).They have pollinia distinctly different in size or shape, and usually have two pairs of caudicles of unequal length (Fig. 2).In addition, they develop a laevigate-foveolate surface with breaks or seams in the otherwise continuous sporopollenin cap of outer tetrads (Fig. 3).They are substantially distinctive in these characters with respect both to the species of Tainia and to the species included in the Tainia-Nephelaphyllum clade and Collabium clade.The current taxonomic circumscription lumps them all together.
The difference in the chromosome numbers between these two groups lends some support to the proposed systematic treatment of Ania as an independent genus.For all the samples formerly referred to Ania, the chromosome number in mitotic metaphase cells was counted to be 2n = 40.This result is in accordance with previous reports [49][50][51][52].However, for the samples of Tainia, B chromosomes were found in Tainia dunnii Rolfe (Fig. 5, E-F) and different B chromosome numbers were found within each population of the same species, and counted as 2n = 36+2B; 2n = 36+3B, respectively.The existence of B chromosomes in Tainia has been reported previously.Tanaka & Matsuda [53] reported that some populations of Tainia laxiflora Makino have a high incidence (more than 95%) of individuals carrying B chromosomes in most of the clones.The chromosome number was 2n = 36+0-9B.Radhamoni et al. [54] found that Tainia bicornis (Lindl.)Reichb.f. possesses 2n = 30+3B chromosomes.Sharma & Chatterji [55] reported that the chromosome number of Tainia minor Hook.f. was 2n = 36 or 40; however, according to Radhamoni et al. [54], this was probably 2n = 36+0-4B.The patterns of different chromosome numbers of Tainia might have been obscured by the existence of B chromosomes.In addition, all the samples of Tainia latifolia showed polyploidy, with the chromosome number 2n = 72 (Fig. 5, D).

Taxonomic Treatment
Based on the results of the molecular analyses and supported by distinctive morphological, palynological, and cytological characters presented in this paper, the re-establishment of the genus Ania is formally proposed here.Ania may be diagnosed by flowers with a spur at the base of the lip; lateral sepals broader than petals; column porrect or slightly arcuate; column-foot indistinct; and
