A phylogenetic analysis of Ochrosia sensu lato (Ochrosia sensu stricto and Neisosperma) was performed based on 14 macromorphological characters scored from 19 species including two varieties (23 accessions), and three outgroup from genus Rauvolfia, i.e. R. sumatrana, R. verticillata and R. serpentina. For the same species, this data was analyzed together with molecular dataset from our previous studies. The result of total datasets analysis (of ITS, rps16 intron and macromorphological characters) confirmed the monophyly of Ochrosia sensu lato. Ochrosia sensu stricto appeared to be monophyletic. The clade nested within paraphyletic Neisosperma and together they form a strongly supported monophyletic clade of Ochrosia sensu lato. Most of the morphological characters used in this study were found to be homoplasious. The existence of fibrous-fruited group and cavity-fruited group was not supported, thus subdivision of Ochrosia into sections (or subgenera) based on this character as proposed by several authors cannot be applied.
