 In a study published in 2008 , Nina Rønsted and colleagues analysed the DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers ( ITS and ETS ) , and the glyceraldehyde @-@ 3 @-@ phosphate dehydrogenase ( G3pdh ) region , in the first molecular analysis of the section Malvanthera . They found F. obliqua to be most closely related to three species of the arid Northern Territory ( F. platypoda , F. subpuberula and F. lilliputiana ) and classified it in a new series Obliquae in the subsection Platypodeae . The species had remained a transitional rainforest species while its relatives radiated into dryer regions .
