TL;DR: In these analyses the positions of both Beesia and Eranthis were well supported within the tribe Actaeeae by each analysis and Beesia calthifolia was sister to Anemonopsis macrophylla on a strongly supported clade.
Abstract: The phylogenetic positions of the genera Beesia and Eranthis were investigated with respect to seven species in two genera, representing the tribe Actaeeae and five species in five other Ranunculaceae genera as outgroup. Maximum parsimony analyses were performed separately on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS, plastid trnL-F, and combined DNA sequence data. In these analyses the positions of both Beesia and Eranthis were well supported within the tribe Actaeeae by each analysis and Beesia calthifolia was sister to Anemonopsis macrophylla on a strongly supported clade. Tribe Actaeeae is redefined to include Actaea, Anemonopsis, Beesia, and Eranthis. Communicating Editor: John V. Freudenstein

TL;DR: The results show that Actaea asiatica[WTBZ] has the same karyotype as the other species in the genus Actaea, which is probably the most advanced karyotypes in this tribe Cimicifugeae.
Abstract: Actaea asiatica was previously reported to have the most symmetric and primitive karyotype, consisting of 10 m and 6 sm chromosomes, which is quite different from those of the remaining species in the genus Actaea, consisting of 10 m , 4 sm and two T chromosomes In this paper, the chromosomes of this species were re examined The results show that Actaea asiatica[WTBZ] has the same karyotype as the other species in the genus Compared with the species in other genera in the tribe Cimicifugeae, ie Beesia, Anemonopsis, Souliea and Cimicifuga, Actaea asiatica, together with the remaining species of the genus, has the most asymmetric and thus probably the most advanced karyotype in this tribe because of the presence of two T chromosomes in their chromosome complements The two T chromosomes may serve as one of the most important cytological markers, by which the species in Actaea are clearly distinguishable cytologically from those in Beesia, Anemonopsis, Souliea and Cimicifuga
