''Dodonaea'' is a genus of about 70 species of flowering plants, often known as hop-bushes, in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions of Africa, the Americas, southern Asia and Australasia. By far the highest species diversity is in Australia. The genus is named after Rembert Dodoens, also known as Rembertus Dodonaeus. They are shrubs and small trees growing to tall. The leaves are alternate, simple or pinnate. The flowers are produced in short racemes. The fruit is a capsule, often with two or three wings. ''Dodonaea'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Aenetus eximia'' and ''Aenetus ligniveren''. ==Systematics== ''Dodonaea'' is recognized as the largest genus of ''Sapindaceae''. This taxa includes 70 species widely distributed in continental Australia.〔Harrington M., Gadek P. A species well travelled – the Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae) complex based on phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETSf sequences. Journal of Biogeography. Volume 36, Issue 12, pages 2313–2323, December 2009〕 The only other species of the ''Dodonaea'' widely spread beyond mainland Australia, ''Dodonaea viscosa'', is believed to be one of the world’s greatly disseminated transoceanic plants.〔 The first attempts to distinguish infrageneric categories within ''Dodonaea'' genus were based on leaf morphology, specifically, two sections - ''Eu-Dodonaea'' (simple leaves) and ''Remberta'' (pinnate leaves) were differentiated.〔 Later this sectional classification was expanded by Bentham, who included 39 species in five series - four simple-leaved series further divided on capsule-appendage morphology (series ''Cyclopterae, Platypterae, Cornutae and Apterae'') and one pinnate-leaved species (series ''Pinnatae''). Later the genus have been reviewed extensively two times. Radlkofer identified ''Dodonaea'' as a part of the tribe ''Dodonaeeae'', within ''Dyssapindaceae'', together with ''Loxodiscus, Diplopeltis'' and ''Distichostemon''. ''Dodonaea'' and ''Distichostemon'' share similar morphological characteristics which include plants having regular flowers without petals and an intrastaminal disc. Therefore, these two genera are considered to be closely related.〔Müller J, Leenhouts P.W. A general survey of pollen types in Sapindaceae in relation to taxonomy. In ‘The evolutionary significance of the exine’. Pages. 407–445. 1976〕 54 ''Dodonaea'' species identified by Radlkofer were divided into three series (''Cyclopterae, Platypterae'' and ''Aphanopterae'') and six subseries.〔 As classifiers were taken the presence or absence of an aril and leaves’ glandular structures. Another revision of the genus was proposed by West, where ''Dodonaea'' were divided into six species groups by using a combination of characters.〔West J.G. A revision of Dodonaea Miller (Sapindaceae) in Australia. Brunonia 7, 1–194. 1984〕 Species with the most primitive characters were classified in Group 1 and Group 6 included plants with the most derived states. For instance, the character of an aril possession was recognized as a derived trait. The most recent molecular study of phylogenetic relationships within the genus revealed some discrepancy with the previously stated hypotheses of morphological evolution within ''Dodonaea'' which classified taxa by the combination of leaf, capsule and seed characters. As in preceding morphological research,〔 species with compound leaves were identified in several clades, interspersed among species with simple leaves (e.g. ''D. humilis'' is the only species in Clade I with imparipinnate leaves). The breeding system has great variation across the phylogeny, and although most species are dioecious, sometimes some species may differ from this state being monoecious. Most genera in ''Sapindaceae'' are dioecious, however, most closely related to ''Dodonaea'' in the phylogeny (''Diplopeltis, Diplopeltis stuartii'' and ''Cossinia'') are monoecious. It has also been reported that whereas normally breeding system in ''Harpullia'' is dioecism, a few species have also been recognized as monoecious.〔Leenhouts P.W., Vente M. A. Taxonomic revision of Harpullia (Sapindaceae). Blumea 28, 1–51. 1982〕 It was stated that during evolution a general breeding-system across the phylogeny was dioecism, however, the polygamous state was intermediate or, might be partially reversible. Molecular data supports an evidence that monophyly of ''Dodonaea'' includes all species of ''Distichostemon''.〔 It is also supported by the morphological characters as synapomorphies of flowers with reduced petal number and with a highly reduced intrastaminal disk, the trait which is absent in staminate flowers. Both West and Radlkofer used an aril presence or absence as a character to define species groups. All the main clades of ''Dodonaea'' and also two species of ''Diplopeltis'' have small funicular arils.〔 Seeds of D. viscosa have very small funicular aril, and are harvested by Pheidole sp. of ants and deposited in middens outside the nest after the elaiosome has been consumed.〔Harrington G.N., Driver M.A. The effect of fire and ants on the seed-bank of a shrub in a semi-arid grassland. Australian Journal of Ecology 20, 538–547.1995〕 Bayesian MCMC estimation of ''Dodonaea'' phylogeny supported the hypothesis that two species of ''Cossinia'' are sisters to ''Diplopeltis'' and ''Dodonaea''.〔 Nevertheless, Diplopeltis is identified as a paraphyletic group. The monophyly of ''Dodonaea'' is well supported by Bayesian MCMC estimation (1.00 posterior probability, PP).〔 Within the Clade I (1.00 PP) eight species are recognized as sister to the remaining ''Dodonaea''. ''Distichostemon'' is placed in the Clade II (1.00 PP). The phylogeny of remaining 53 species of ''Dodonaea'' (1.00 PP) is poorly supported (<0.95 PP). ''Dodonaea viscosa'' is placed within the Clade IV being closely related to ''D.biloba, D.procumbens'' and ''D.camfieldii''. It is known that ''D. viscosa'' and ''D. camfieldii'' evolved in Australia from their most recent common ancestor.〔 ''D.viscosa'' is widely distributed in Australia today while ''D. camfieldii'' is restricted to New South Wales. The divergence of these taxa occurred approximately in the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene (2.7–1.4 Ma, 95% Highest Posterior Density, HPD). The molecular data shows evidence that a monophyletic ''D. viscosa'' includes two species, ''D. procumbens'' and ''D. biloba''.
