Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation High intraspecific variation within narrow-ranged and widespread Sambucus populations contributes to taxonomic complications.
- Observation Intraspecific variation within Sambucus leads to misidentifications and misapplied names.
- Observation The NeighborNet split network revealed three distinct genera, Viburnum, Sambucus and Adoxa, which clustered separately.
- Observation Sambucus species formed a monophyletic group in the Maximum Likelihood analysis.
- Observation Sambucus species clustered into two major clades, one small clade containing S. maderensis, S. peruviana, S. nigra and S. canadensis.
- Observation Possible interspecific hybridization between Sambucus species increases complexity in character evolution.
- Observation The preferred family assignment for Sambucus is Viburnaceae.
