e0“identified five distinct taxa from the V. radicans complex: two non-hybrid species (Vandenboschia kalamocarpa and Vandenboschia nipponica), and three hybrids (Vandenboschia × stenosiphon, Vandenboschia × quelpaertensis, and Vandenboschia kalamocarpa × Vandenboschia nipponica × Vandenboschia striata)”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sampling identified three hybrids in the V. radicans complex.
- Association Hybrids had broader geographic distributions than non-hybrid species.
- Observation Overlapping morphological traits complicate species identification without genetic analysis.
- Method / resource Rhizome diameter and involucre width-to-length ratio can distinguish members of the complex.
- Method / resource CAPS markers and cloning techniques enabled species identification when morphology was inconclusive.
- Recommendation The authors recommend integrating genetic tools with traditional taxonomy for Vandenboschia.
- Recommendation The authors emphasize conservation for geographically restricted and genetically distinct populations.
