Resolving taxa in a challenging orchid species complex using evidence from phylogenetics, morphometrics and floral scent chemistry Open
Species can be difficult to circumscribe using morphology alone, and additional data can thus be useful for resolving challenging species complexes. Here we provide a case study of a South African orchid species complex which we resolved b…
