Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Floral volatiles of T. albidum showed considerable geographic variation that paralleled its morphological variation.
- Observation T. angustipetalum and T. kurabayashii produced floral scents characterised by aliphatic esters, each with a distinct composition.
- Observation Floral scent of T. chloropetalum was a blend of volatiles from white-petaled and maroon-petaled congeneric taxa.
- Recommendation Floral scent composition is consistent with the current taxonomy of the western sessile Trillium group.
- Mechanism Floral scent suggests a potential hybrid origin for T. chloropetalum.
