DOI: 10.2179/0008-7475.84.1.93
Abstract: ABSTRACT Taxonomists have traditionally distinguished two very similar Southern Appalachian endemic herbs, Micranthes careyana and M. caroliniana, by differences in four floral characters: sepal orientation, filament shape, petal coloration, and fruit length. Yet identification in… read more here.
