The Ipomopsis aggregata complex is a group of perennial herbs                   common throughout western North America.  The number of species                 recognized in the literature has varied from one to ten,                        indicating considerable taxonomic confusion.  Morphological                     variation in this complex strongly suggests that species are in                 the process of arising.  Therefore, the complex not only requires               taxonomic revision but also affords an excellent model for the                  study of species formation.  Data from chloroplast DNA variation                will be used to construct a phylogeny of the complex and related                species.  In addition, data from starch gel electrophoresis of                  enzymes will be used to assess genetic relationships and levels                 of gene flow among populations.  Results from this study should                 provide a classification which reflects evolutionary                            relationships of taxa.  It will also be possible to test                        different hypotheses about the mechanisms which have given rise                 to these taxa.
