Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Schisandra occupies a wider altitude range of 0–4500 m than Kadsura at 0–1500 m.
- Observation The genera show significant morphological trait overlap and distinguishing characteristics.
- Observation Flower sexuality, gynoecium morphology and fruit attributes were principal sources of morphological variation.
- Observation S. plena and S. propinqua clustered morphologically with Kadsura.
- Observation ITS and matK reconstructions confirmed a close evolutionary relationship between Schisandra and Kadsura.
- Observation Phylogenetic reconstructions suggested potential intergenus hybridization involving S. bicolor, S. propinqua, S. plena and K. scandens.
