Phylogeography of Pantropical Plants with Sea Drifted Seeds †

Almost all flowring plants can not move by themselves, but they cast their seeds or fruits by several ways to attain new domain. The geographic distance attained by seed dispersal are generally limited because of the media, such as, winds, water, animal, etc., so that the distribution areas of plants itself are mostly limited. This is the reason that we meet lots of endemic plants, even if we visit a certain mountain area in Honshu Isl. of Japan. The dispersal range is mostly limited in Plants.

However, some plants are real cosmopolitan, as they cast their pollen by
