The RAPD technique was tested on 18 species of 4 genera of Valerianeae in order to perform a comparison with the non-molecular current classification of this tribe of Valerianaceae. Molecular results (presence/absence ofRAPD bands) were exploited with two phenetic and one cladistic methods. Only the genus Centranthus and the section Porteria of Valeriana were robustly recognised on this base. So it seems not convenient to extend the use of the RAPD technique for phylogeny inference in this tribe.
