We present here the results of molecular phylogenetic analyses based on non-coding chloroplast sequences (trnL-F). Molecular evidence indicates that Campanula trichocalycina and C. pichleri form a strongly supported lineage, positioned as sister-group to Asyneuma s.str. Consequently, we treate this complex as congeneric with Asyneuma. We also discuss relative importance of floral morphology versus fruit dehiscence for circumscription of Asyneuma and Campanula as well as proposed taxonomic status of Asyneuma comosiforme, a species recently discovered not to be closely related to other members of Asyneuma and segregated from this genus.
